LIMA (Reuters) – Peru’s sprawling Antamina copper mine is slowly restarting operations, a source close to the company said on Thursday, after an accident earlier this week left an employee dead and another injured.
Antamina, controlled by Glencore, BHP, Teck and Mitsubishi, is one of Peru’s largest copper mines. It had paused operations on Tuesday after an incident at its Yanacancha camp, in the Ancash region.
Antamina said at the time it was investigating the cause of the incident, which killed an operations manager and injured another senior employee.
