Major global producers will rent part of their properties to small-scale miners. : More than a dozen global mining companies with operations in Chile signed this week a deal that would see them renting part of their properties to small-scale miners, which sell their output to state mining development corporation ENAMI. Top players including BHP, Barrick Gold, Anglo American, Antofagasta Minerals, Lumina Copper, Freeport-McMoRan, Teck Resources, Lundin Mining, KGHM and SQM, will deal directly with ENAMI. The body, in turn, will sublet the properties to artisanal miners, which will carry out extraction and exploration through more than 840,000h in Chile’s arid and copper-rich Atacama region.
