Chile's Antofagasta PLC said Thursday that it has restarted work
at some mining operations that were affected by heavy rains and
flooding on Wednesday.
The company had suspended operations at its Michilla and
Centinela copper mines and at the Antucoya project, which is to be
inaugurated later this year.
In a statement Thursday the company said that operations at the
Michilla mine are ready to start functioning from tonight.
It said that at the Centinela site trucks are ready to be used
and work is underway to progressively restart operations in
distinct areas.
The company said that work on the Antucoya project was already
restarting.
The Los Pelambres mine has been operating normally, the company
has said.
