Drone Laws in Santiago, Chile (2025): Avoid $36,000 Fines by Knowing the Rules

Chile’s DGAC requires virtually all drones used in Santiago’s populated areas to be registered, with a 12-month registration card that must be carried while flying and renewed annually. The 2024 DAN 151 revision extends to all drone operations over urban areas, introducing the Certificado Especial de Operación (CEO) or an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) for both public and private operators to fly in cities. Drones with a takeoff weight above 9 kg are not allowed over populated areas under the 2024 DAN 151 rule set. Drones above 750 g must have an emergency parachute, and tracking and anti-collision lights are

Antofagasta share price rises despite Centinela fine in Chile as market eyes Jan 29 output report

Antofagasta share price rises despite Centinela fine in Chile as market eyes Jan 29 output report

LONDON, Jan 24, 2026, 09:46 (GMT) — Market closed Antofagasta (ANTO.L) shares closed Friday 1.9% higher at 3,584 pence, brushing off news from Chile. The country’s environmental watchdog fined its Centinela copper mine for failing to meet water-monitoring rules. (MarketScreener UK) Antofagasta’s shares have been jittery lately, especially on news about permits, water issues, and how the company manages operations. The next update is coming soon. Axel Rudolph, senior technical analyst at IG, noted that investors are zeroing in on copper output, cost management, and expansion plans as that report approaches. (IG) The fine may be minor, but the timing

BHP stock price jumps toward a fresh high, but the next week hinges on Chile and China

BHP stock price jumps toward a fresh high, but the next week hinges on Chile and China

NEW YORK, Jan 25, 2026, 01:08 EST — Market closed BHP Group’s U.S.-listed shares closed Friday up 3.9% at $67.52, hovering near their 52-week high. With markets closed Sunday, a packed news slate awaits Monday’s open. (Investing.com) Traders are focused less on any one metal and more on BHP’s ability to keep shipments flowing amid tightening logistics in Chile. The bigger question: can the company hold onto pricing power as a standoff with China redirects some iron ore to alternative routes? This matters because BHP’s earnings hinge on volume and realized prices, not fancy presentations. Any disruption to shipments, bigger

Antofagasta stock faces Monday test after Chile roadblock strike, Centinela fine ahead of Q4 update

Antofagasta stock faces Monday test after Chile roadblock strike, Centinela fine ahead of Q4 update

London, January 25, 2026, 09:24 GMT — The market has closed. Antofagasta (ANTO.L) shares enter the week under pressure as striking contractors renewed their blockade Saturday on the access road to BHP’s Escondida and Antofagasta Minerals’ Zaldivar copper mines, according to sources. The London-listed stock closed Friday up 1.9% at 3,584 pence (£35.84), recovering from a 2.2% drop the previous day. (Reuters) This matters since Antofagasta’s earnings remain closely tied to copper output and on-the-ground disruptions. The market often prices in those risks quickly, sometimes well before any actual impact on production shows up. This comes at a moment when

BHP share price in focus: China iron ore curbs and Chile strike set up next ASX session

BHP share price in focus: China iron ore curbs and Chile strike set up next ASX session

Sydney, Jan 26, 2026, 16:48 AEDT — Markets have closed for the day. BHP Group Ltd shares enter Tuesday’s session facing a fresh twist in a familiar battle: offloading iron ore while its biggest customer resists. Australia’s cash market will be shut on Monday for the Australia Day public holiday, so miners will have to digest offshore news until local trading kicks back in on Jan. 27. (Australian Securities Exchange) The reason this matters now is straightforward. Iron ore remains the backbone of BHP’s profits, and the dispute over China contracts is starting to affect daily logistics, discounts, and inventory

BHP stock price faces a two-front test: China iron ore ban and Chile copper roadblocks

BHP stock price faces a two-front test: China iron ore ban and Chile copper roadblocks

Sydney, Jan 24, 2026, 16:55 AEDT — The market has closed. BHP Group Ltd shares (BHP.AX) enter the week with fresh scrutiny on their China iron ore sales after Reuters revealed the miner diverted Jimblebar Blend Fines — a mid-grade iron ore product — to Malaysia and Vietnam. The shipments came after China Mineral Resources Group (CMRG), created in 2022 to coordinate iron ore purchases, instructed mills and traders last September not to buy Jimblebar during 2026 contract talks. Reuters pointed to a 95,000-ton cargo unloaded in Malaysia on Jan. 14 and a 75,000-ton shipment to Vietnam in December. Meanwhile,
