Chile’s mining minister announced on Friday the permanent closure of mining stopes directly related to a giant sinkhole that appeared in the northern part of the country in July.
The minister added that the government is working on recovering water from an aquifer that was damaged by the sinkhole. SMA filed a charge labeled as “very serious” for “irreparable environmental damage” to the aquifer, in addition to a “serious” charge for overextraction and two minor ones related to transporting minerals.
Canada’s Lundin Mining Corp owns 80% of the property, while the remaining 20% is held by Japan’s Sumitomo Metal Mining and Sumitomo Corp.
