Anglo American PLC said Tuesday that Chilean regulators have rejected the environmental permit for its Los Bronces expansion project.

The mining group said that it expects to continue following the regulatory process in Chile, which includes potential to request a review by a Minister's Committee.

Shares at 0706 GMT were down 1.7% at 3,526 pence.

The Los Bronces integrated project aims to expand the current open pit by accessing a new underground section of the copper mine.
