Antofagasta PLC said Tuesday that it has temporarily shut down a
pipeline at Los Pelambres after detecting a leak, and that mining
operations and processing plans continue to operate with certain
limitations.
The Chilean copper miner said the leak was found at an
underground pipeline that transports concentrate from the
concentrator plant to the port at Los Vilos.
It said full-year impact on copper production will depend on the
duration of the shutdown, but it currently expects to be limited to
within the current full-year guidance range of between 640,000 and
690,000 tones.
Antofagasta added that preliminary assessment shows no
indication of environmental damage.
