Major fire hits Chilean port, Codelco operations unaffected

 

A major fire broke out at Chile’s Ventanas port near a refinery and smelter belonging to state-run miner Coldeco, but the company said on Thursday that operations have not been affected by the blaze. Codelco’s smelter near the port was already shut down due to maintenance, while the refinery is operating normally, according to Codelco, the world’s top copper producer. No injuries have been reported from the fire, the company that administers the port said in a statement. It said the incident occurred in a solid bulk cargo conveyor belt and spread to other nearby facilities.
