As quoted in the report:
The ruling Tuesday could have a major impact on Pascua Lama, the world’s highest-altitude gold mine being developed on both sides of the Chile-Argentine border. Barrick said the $5-billion project already has found nearly 18 million ounces of proven gold reserves, more than the company’s Veladero mine, another open-pit mine nearby that is already in production.
