Chilean and Canadian firms steer US$3.3 billion mining JV
Davide Montagner

Chilean miner Mantos Copper has enlisted Canadian firm Stikeman Elliot LLP and Baker McKenzie (Chile) to form a US$3.3 billion joint venture with Vancouver-based counterpart Capstone.

Canadian firm Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP and Carey in Santiago advised Capstone.

The agreement was signed on 30 November. It is subject to regulatory and court approvals and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2022.

Upon completion, Capstone’s shareholders will own a 60.75% stake in the new miner, which will operate as Capstone Copper. Mantos’ shareholders will hold the remaining minority interest.

Capstone Copper will be headquartered in Vancouver and trade on the Toronto stock exchange.

Capstone’s CEO and president, Darren Pylot, will be the executive director of Capstone Copper, while John MacKenzie, founder of Mantos Copper, will serve as its CEO.

Pylot says the merger is in line with Capstone’s strategic vision of growing a multi-asset and sustainable copper business in the Americas. “The combination of these two companies provides transformational near-term growth and further deepens our bench strength, particularly with respect to mine building, operational and leadership experience,” he says.

Capstone Copper will have a diversified portfolio of high-quality, long-life operative assets in the Americas. Its estimated copper production next year will be around 175,000 tonnes, while its copper reserves hold some 4.9 million tonnes.

The new business will operate the Santo Domingo copper, iron and gold project – of which Capstone is the sole owner – in Chile’s Atacama region. It will also manage the Pinto Valley mine in the US state of Arizona, the Cozamin mine in the northern Mexican state of Zacatecas and the Mantos Blancos and Mantoverde projects, also in Chile’s Atacama region.

The Mantoverde project, currently under construction, is located 30 kilometres southwest of the San

Abstract

The migration of minors unaccompanied by adults from the northern countries of Central America (El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras) to the United States has risen sharply in recent years, surpassing the numbers that migrated during the political conflicts in the region in the 1980s and early 1990s. While the migration of minors from the northern region of Central America may appear as a homogeneous flow, significant sociodemographic and regional differentials exist in their migration. A conceptual model of institutional conditions is presented to conceptualise how changing institutional conditions in communities of origin can produce ‘push’ effects for the unaccompanied migration of minors in the northern countries of Central America. The goal of the model is to conceptually advance the analysis of migration by the unaccompanied minors to the root level of structural change. US response to the migration of unaccompanied minors in the future is uncertain given that a new administration has taken charge of the Executive Branch, promising to further restrict unauthorised immigration at the southwest border.

Keywords: Central American migration, unaccompanied minors, asylum seekers, migration networks

Introduction

The arrival at the US southwest border of 51,700 unaccompanied minors from the northern countries of Central America, i.e. El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, in 2014 represented a dramatic increase of this migration from previous years. Central American children younger than 18 had been migrating unaccompanied by adults in fluctuating annual numbers since the 1980s when civil war and other social turmoil destabilised much of Central America, but the border apprehensions of these minors dropped below 10,000 per year after the political violence subsided in the region (Ur
