The Project is being developed by Caitan SpA for BHP Billiton (\u201cBHP\u201d) in the context of a US $ 2.5bn investment approved by BHP back in 2017 for the upgrade of the Spence copper mine (the Spence Growth Option (SGO) project). The upgrade required a 1,000-liter per second desalination plant on the Mejillones Bay in the Antofagasta Region in Chile. The investment seeks to extend the life of the mine for more than 50 years.<\/p>\n
