Chile fines Lundin mine for environmental infractions
Chile's environmental regulator said Tuesday it had fined Lundin's Caserones copper mine the equivalent of $9-million for serious water-use violations. The Superintendency of the Environment (SMA) said that non-compliance affected the quality of surface water and groundwater in the Ramadillas River basin. The SMA said it carried out multiple inspections between 2015 and 2018 after citizen complaints from Colla indigenous communities.
