SANTIAGO, July 10 (Reuters) - Copper miner Antofagasta ( ANFGF )

sees opportunity for its planned copper project in the United

States in the context of 50% tariffs on the metal imposed by the

Trump administration, CEO Ivan Arriagada said at an event on

Thursday.

Chilean Mining Minister Aurora Williams, speaking alongside

Arriagada, said the government had not yet received precise
