Anglo American has welcomed the decision in Chile by the Committee of Ministers to approve the environmental permit application for the LBIP, establishing the next phase of development for one of the world’s biggest copper mines.

Following the receipt of the environmental permit, Anglo American will continue to progress the project through its prefeasibility stages towards submission for approval by the Anglo American board.
