Strike ends at Chile's Caserones Cu mine

Workers at the Caserones mine in Chile reached an agreement with controlling group Lundin Mining to end a one-week strike.

The majority of the union members at the mine have agreed to Lundin's new collective bargaining proposal, the company said on 24 August, adding that it would focus on resuming operations that were running at approximately 50pc capacity during the strike.

Around 30pc of the mine's workers began striking in mid-August.

Caserones is an open pit copper-molybdenum mine which produces high-quality copper concentrate, copper cathode and molybdenum concentrate, according to Lundin.
