Anglo American Plc will restart operations at its Los Bronces copper mine in central Chile following a brief but violent protest by contract workers, a spokesman told Reuters on March 25.

The mine was expected to operating normally by the end of the day, Marcelo Esquivel, Anglo American's spokesman in Chile said, adding there was no estimate of how the stoppage had hurt production. A Chile-based trader said the stoppage had been too brief to impact the market.
