Reuters reported violence flared at a Bolivian tin and zinc mine owned by Glencore (LSE:GLEN) on Friday.
As quoted in the market news:
The violence at the Colquiri mine, located about 200 kilometers (125 miles) south of the administrative capital La Paz, followed a two-week standoff at the mine where members of independent mining cooperatives were demanding new areas to work.
A similar battle for control of the state-owned Huanuni tin mine ended in clashes that killed 17 people six years ago.
