Codelco to cut jobs at head office – statement

Chile state miner Codelco said in a statement on Monday it would make further cuts to its workforce, reducing its head office staff by 10%, or 40 jobs, as it looks to reduce costs amid dwindling copper output.

This follows another job cut announcement 10 days earlier, when Codelco said it would trim 10% of staff, or 80 jobs, at its Projects arm.
