A court hearing for Chile’s Andes Iron Dominga project is expected this Thursday, several media reports said this week.
A Chilean environmental court said it has admitted a filing by Andes Iron to review a ban that prevented the company to develop the Dominga iron ore project. The $2.5 billion project expects to produce up to 12 million mt of iron ore.
According to media reports, Chile’s First Environmental Court in Antofagasta expects to receive the company’s documents that form the basis its claims.
The project was filed at Chile’s environmental authority (SEA) in September 2013 and rejected by SEA in May 2017. Since then, Andes Iron has been trying to revert the SEA’s decision.
