Norway just raised the stakes over deep sea mining
The Jan. 9 determination makes Norway the first country to formally authorize seabed mining activities in its waters.
Chile state miner Codelco said in a statement on Monday it would make further cuts to its workforce, reducing its head office staff by 10%, or 40 jobs, as it looks to reduce costs amid dwindling copper output.
This follows another job cut announcement 10 days earlier, when Codelco said it would trim 10% of staff, or 80 jobs, at its Projects arm.
