Agreement Reached to End Strike at Chile's Caserones Copper Mine


The strike at Chile's Caserones copper mine has officially concluded following an agreement between the workers and Lundin Mining, the company that operates the mine. Initiated in mid-August and involving around 30% of the workforce, the one-week strike ended when the majority of union members accepted the new collective bargaining proposal put forth by Lundin.

During the strike, the mine's operations were reduced to approximately 50% capacity. With the labor dispute now resolved, Lundin Mining has announced plans to swiftly restore full operations at the site.

Caserones is an open-pit mine known for its production of high-quality copper concentrate, copper cathode, and molybdenum concentrate. The mine plays a vital role in supplying copper and molybdenum, metals essential to various industrial processes.
