Chile Highlights More Than US$3 Billion in Planned Mining Investment

On 26 October, Chile’s mining ministry announced Capstone Copper’s planned investment of more than US$3 billion in Atacama. The plan is expected to support an expansion of copper production by 2031, with construction at Santo Domingo forecast to require more than 8,000 workers at peak; these are projected economic impacts rather than confirmed jobs already created.
