Chile files environmental charges against Anglo American copper mine
Chile's environmental regulator has filed four charges against the major Los Bronces copper mine, controlled by Anglo American, for noncompliance with environmental permits, the agency said on Monday. The charges could carry a fine of nearly 17 billion pesos ($17.17 million), according to the Superintendency of the Environment, or SMA. Los Bronces is one of Chile's biggest copper mines with output of 215,500 metric tons last year, as well as a key project for Anglo American, which has been a takeover target of larger rival BHP.
