    Lundin Mining (TSX:LUN) has resumed mining and milling operations at its Candelaria mine following a temporary suspension on Wednesday. The miner had suspended operations due to heavy rainfall and flooding that affected power and access for the site.

    Lundin Mining (TSX:LUN) has resumed mining and milling operations at its Candelaria mine following a temporary suspension on Wednesday. The miner had suspended operations due to heavy rainfall and flooding that affected power and access for the site.

    As quoted in the publication:

    The Company is pleased to report that there were no injuries to personnel nor significant damage incurred at Candelaria, though many families of employees and their homes have been seriously affected by the floods. The Company is working with local authorities in Copiapo and the town of Tierra Amarilla to support the ongoing emergency relief efforts.

    Open pit mining and milling operations have recommenced at half capacity. Ramp up to full production, and re-opening of the underground mines is expected in the next few days as regional roads and access to site is restored, enabling full crews to return to work.

    Commenting on the impact of the floods, Lundin stated in its previous release:

    Over the last 24 hours there have been abnormal rains in central and northern Chile, with the Copiapo region being particularly affected. The Copiapo River and lower lying communities down the valley from the mine have experienced heavy flooding in numerous locations. This flooding has closed provincial roads, disrupting access to the Candelaria Mine. No significant damage or injuries have been reported at the Candelaria mine site.
