One day before deadline, still no agreement in Codelco/Anglo American case.
Codelco, Chile’s state-owned copper mining company, will ask the Chilean court to set back the deadline for the negotiations with British-owned Anglo American, which are due to end on Friday. The court can extend them a maximum of two more months.
"I would leave it as a small positive," Dominic O'Kane, mining analyst with Liberum Capital in London, told Reuters. "If they were miles apart, talks would have broken down immediately."
The dispute, which centers on Codelco’s option to purchase 49 percent of Anglo American’s South American subsidiary, Anglo American Sur, has been tied up in court since October of last year.
