Codelco: Andina production to remain safe from underground ops' planned closure

Codelco reiterated that copper production from its Andina Division in Chile will not be affected by the planned closure of the division's underground operations in 2022, Metal Bulletin reported Nov. 28, citing the company.

According to the report, Codelco's statement comes after union workers blocked access to the Andina mine Nov. 27 to protest the closure.

"Andina's union leaders have known for several months that 2022 is the year in which underground operations [at the mine] would be halted due to the depletion of its reserves," Codelco said, noting that the move goes back to decisions made over a decade ago.
