Chilean court scraps Pascua Lama fine

A Chilean court has annulled the record-breaking fine imposed by a local regulator on Barrick Gold Corp for damage caused by its Pascua Lama gold-silver project, saying the original court documents were riddled with "errors and illegalities".

But operations at Pascua-Lama must remain suspended while Barrick improves water management systems at the US$8.5 billion project on the Chilean-Argentinian border.
