The Clap
Multinational mining, metals & petroleum company BHP (NYSE: BHP) said it wants to expand investments in Chile, but only if the country can provide “fiscal stability & legal certainty.”
Backstory
Chile is the world’s biggest copper producer, supplying almost 25% of the world’s copper. The South-American country just elected a new government that could potentially increase mining-associated fees to fund other social programs.
Now
BHP, along with several copper miners, has paused investment decisions in the country.
