Colombia backs output expansion plans at Anglo-operated coal mine

摘要

The Colombian government is in talks with stakeholders to resolve all issues blocking the expansion of the Anglo American Plc-operated Cerrejon coal project near the country’s Caribbean coast after a court recently endorsed a decision to halt works to divert a river near the mine, Bloomberg News reported Jan. 19. The planned expansion will allow the mine to boost output to over 90 million tonnes of coal in 2017, Colombia’s mines and energy minister, German Arce, told the newswire in an interview.
