An iron and copper mining project in northern Chile that has raised environmental concerns could eventually face scrutiny by the Supreme Court, the Environment Minister said on Tuesday, after a local tribunal annulled a 2023 denial of a proposal for the $2.5-billion Dominga mine.
Chile's Andes Iron has attempted for years to develop the project in the Coquimbo region, but faced opposition from environmentalists. It became a symbol of permitting and environmental challenges in Chile, the biggest copper-producing country.
