MEXICO CITY - Canadian miner Capstone Copper on Monday announced a $3-billion investment plan in Chile's Atacama region, according to Chile's mining ministry.

The investment plan, which will allocate $2.3-billion to the Santo Domingo project and a further $220-million to two short-term projects at Mantoverde, is expected to double Capstone's copper production in the country by 2031.

Construction at Santo Domingo will require more than 8 000 workers at its peak, the ministry said.
