SANTIAGO - Chilean miner Codelco's smelter at its El Teniente mine is set to restart on Thursday, the firm said, after being paused for nearly two weeks due to a deadly collapse at the site.

The collapse at El Teniente in late July, which killed six workers, is still being investigated.

The shutdown led to a loss of 20 000 to 30 000 metric tons of copper, worth about $300-million, Chairman Maximo Pacheco said on Wednesday.
