Chile's environmental regulator said Tuesday it had fined Lundin's Caserones copper mine the equivalent of $9 million for serious water-use violations.
The Superintendency of the Environment said that non-compliance affected the quality of surface water and groundwater in the Ramadillas River basin. The SMA said it carried out multiple inspections between 2015 and 2018 after citizen complaints from Colla indigenous communities.
"After an extensive analysis, the SMA concluded in the sanction of two infractions to the RCA of the project, both classified as serious," he added. Lundin can file an appeal to the SMA within five business days or file a claim to the first environmental court within 15 business days.
