Lundin Mining Corporation is pleased to announce that mining and milling operations have now re-commenced at its Candelaria Mine, south-east of Copiapo, Chile.
The Company is pleased to report that there were no injuries to personnel nor significant damage incurred at Candelaria, though many families of employees and their homes have been seriously affected by the floods. The Company is working with local authorities in Copiapo and the town of Tierra Amarilla to support the ongoing emergency relief efforts.
Open pit mining and milling operations have recommenced at half capacity. Ramp up to full production, and re-opening of the underground mines is expected in the next few days as regional roads and access to site is restored, enabling full crews to return to work.
