Mining operations are getting tougher in South America. Capstone Copper's Mantoverde mine in Chile is now facing workforce strikes that could disrupt copper production. For anyone tracking mining economics and commodity supply chains, this is worth monitoring—production delays can ripple through industrial sectors and affect energy transition materials critical for infrastructure buildouts. The mining sector's operational challenges continue to make headlines as labor disputes become more frequent in key extraction regions.

With strikes happening so frequently, is it that the mining companies are too stingy or that the workers genuinely can't make ends meet?

Is Chile on strike again? Mantoverde is about to have problems, and the copper needed for energy transition is about to run out... The supply chain is going to be affected again.

The Chilean copper mine strike... it's happening again. South America has truly become a sensitive area, and the supply chain will have to tremble accordingly.
