Chile SEA watch: Mining projects worth US$67mn submitted in November
Chile's environmental evaluation service SEA received US$66.9mn worth of mining projects for evaluation in November, according to information compiled by BNamericas.
A total of 10 mining projects were submitted for evaluation.
The largest was the US$25mn environmental impact assessment (EIA) for the Berta copper heap leaching project, in northern region III. The EIA was submitted by Canadian junior Coro Mining's (TSX: COP) local subsidiary, SCM Berta.
The project involves a treatment capacity of 167,000t/month of copper, with a production capacity of up to 800t/month of copper cathodes.
Next up was a US$10mn update on the environmental impact study of Lumina Copper's Caserones project, also in region III. The study involves construction of new underground wells, relocation of facilities and upgrades on a number of pipelines.
The list of projects submitted for evaluation also includes a US$15mn drilling project submitted by Latin America-focused oil and gas company GeoPark (AIM: GPK) in southernmost region XII.
The remaining seven projects have an average investment of US$2.4mn.
