Resources giant BHP Billiton will increase the capacity of the Los Colorados concentrator at its Escondida copper mine in Chile. Danny Malchuk, the head of BHP’s Minerals Americas division, believes that the project will cost less than the $US200m that has been budgeted. Expansion of the concentrator will allow the Escondida mine to increase annual production by between 150,000 and 200,000 tonnes. The project is slated for completion by mid-2017.
