Copper price rising after Chile quake

SANTIAGO–Major copper mines slowly resumed operations on Sunday after central Chile suffered an earthquake that limited power supplies, which analysts fear could curtail exports by the No. 1 producer.

Ricardo Alvarez, manager at Chile's fourth-largest mine, El Teniente, said the recovery pace of output would depend on the electricity supply, which was partial.

Alvarez said the mine could slow extraction if power lags.

Copper prices surged in early trading Monday on supply worries caused by the 8.8 quake in Chile, jumping 5.6 per cent on the London Metal Exchange.

The tremor killed hundreds, with death tolls climbing, most of them south of the northern mine zone that forced Codelco to shut El Teniente and its Andina copper mine.

Production resumed at Anglo-American Los Bronces copper mine, union leader Eduardo Rocco said.

An Anglo American spokesman said there were no initial reports of major damage at the two mines, which together produce some 280,000 tonnes a year.

Chile's biggest mines produce a third of the world's copper.

Analysts feared supply disruptions from mid-sized deposits nearer Santiago would stoke prices.

Anglo American and Codelco halted output at four mines in total.

Chile earthquake: Santiago airport remains closed as tour operators cancel holidays

The Foreign Office is warning Britons against 'all but essential travel' to the regions worst affected by the earthquake in Chile over the weekend.

The epicentre of the quake, which measured 8.8 on the Richter Scale and struck in the early hours of Saturday was some 30 miles off Chile's coast. The cities of Concepcion, Talca and the capital Santiago have seen the worst damage with 700 people already confirmed dead, a number that is expected to rise say Chilean officials.
Hundreds of thousands of people in 53 countries were evacuated from their homes and millions more put on alert after a tsunami from the quake raced across the Pacific.

The FCO website is advising that the regions of Maule and Biobio are currently 'states of catastrophe' and should be avoided by travellers. Phone links to The British Embassy in Santiago are down and Britons in Chile are being asked to 'follow the advice of the local authorities'.
Those due to travel to the country this week have been forced to change their plans as much of Chile's infrastructure, particularly south of Santiago, has been damaged with transport links, including the Pan-American Highway, severely affected.
The country has long been popular with independent travellers and backpackers with around 65,000 Britons visiting Chile every year.

The main gateway for flights, Santiago Airport, has been closed since the earthquake but there are reports that it may reopen later today. Iberia and LAN Chile, which both fly from the UK to Santiago via Madrid, have suspended flights as has American Airlines which flies from Miami.

Fears for two British couples as death toll from Chile quake reaches 700

Frances Tuke of ABTA, The Travel Association said: "As far as we know there are only a few hundred Britons currently on holiday in Chile and our members are all reporting that they're safe and well in their hotels."
Adventure tour operator Explore has cancelled a 16-day 'Atacama to Paine' itinerary and elsewhere, cruises to the Galapagos Islands were also disrupted as the threat of a tsunami prevented boats from landing or anchoring off the islands.
Although aftershocks are still being felt across southern Chile, a giant tidal wave which could have spread as far as Australia, Hawaii, Philippines and Russia hasn't materialised although large waves have hit - amateur video footage taken in Hawaii shows a beach being flooded.
Fears were growing for four British backpackers missing in Chile as the death toll from the massive earthquake doubled to more than 700.
Kirsty Duff and Dave Sandercock were on a surfing holiday round South America but have not been heard from since Thursday. They were in Pichilemu, a surf resort about three hours from Santiago, when it was rocked by the quake.

Missing: Kirsty Duff and Dave Sandercock both arrived in the surfing town of Pichilemu last week and have not contacted family since the quake
Kirsty’s cousin Clare Slipper, 19, said: 'We have not heard from them since Thursday. They arrived in Chile three weeks ago from Peru, and were living in the town, which is between the two cities badly affected by the earthquake.

'They are both really into surfing and had been travelling and they had went there to surf. The good news is there have been no reported fatalities or casualties in the town.
'But it has been quite badly damaged and because we have not heard from them the family is getting worried. We are just waiting to hear from the British Embassy just now in case there has been any news.'
Another couple, Andre Lanyon from Guernsey and Laura Hapgood, both 29, also went to Pichilemu on Friday.

Flooding in the southwest, in and around Haiti's third-biggest city of Les Cayes

Dr. C. Tannert Pinney, trying to make a difference in the misery of the people of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, kept being amazed by what he heard coming over the wall of the compound where he slept: songs and celebration.

A massive tent city was huddled back there, he said, as large as a couple of football fields and an absolute breeding ground of disease and desperation. So how could the inhabitants be singing?

“It was late at night, every night, between about 10 and 11 p.m., and in the morning, too. I thought, ‘My God, these people just lived through an earthquake.’ The resilience of the people was incredible to me.”

Equally incredible, though, was the poverty.

“The people of Haiti had nothing before this earthquake, and the earthquake wiped them out,” he said.

Pinney, a Hockinson resident and retired emergency room physician, traveled to Haiti in early February as part of an effort by Project Helping Hands, a growing nonprofit organization that started in Keizer, Ore. Medical professionals pay their own way to hot spots around the globe where they can set up charity clinics.

“We have a lot of people with great talent and big hearts who are willing to give up their time and their own funds to go on these trips,” he said.

Pinney said Project Helping Hands has recently grown to the point where it needs a board of directors — which he has joined. The group is nonpolitical and nonreligious, he said.

He’s been to Bolivia twice in recent years, he said, and when word spread that Project Helping Hands would head for Haiti in the aftermath of the Jan. 12 earthquake, he was eager to join that expedition, too. Twenty people went, he said — 10 from the Portland area and 10 more from elsewhere around the nation.

The group flew American Airlines, he said, which was kind enough to waive a $100-per-piece luggage fee for many plastic tubs of medical supplies being brought into Haiti.

They flew into the Dominican Republic on Feb. 6 and took a 10-hour van ride across the island, past the national border into Haiti and Port-au-Prince, the capital city and epicenter of the earthquake.

“As you cross the border, the difference between the Dominican Republic and Haiti is night and day,” he said. “Suddenly it’s all rutted roads and gravel and people living under tarps by the side of the road.” His sense was that this was partially earthquake aftermath, he said, but partially the underlying state of poverty of Haitian society.

“We got into Port-au-Prince. Man, it was like a war zone,” he said. “The buildings were all just completely collapsed and there’s no equipment, nothing to clean up the mess. There’s been very little work to reclaim all this. The rubble is just sitting there.”

He added that the government offered food vouchers to encourage people to clean up the rubble and sort it into collectable piles. “It was beginning to look somewhat better.”

Eventually, the Project Helping Hands group reached Port-au-Prince and the compound of its host, a Christian group called One World Mission. The accommodations were reasonably comfortable — real rooms, real beds, even a swimming pool. And just over the compound wall were thousands of people who had nothing but their prayers.

“They were living under tarps held up by sticks,” he said. “When they had homes, at least they had places to go to the bathroom. Now they didn’t even have that. It was very heart-wrenching.”

Injuries and poverty
The Project Helping Hands team set up a clinic in a rocky courtyard next to a dilapidated home, Pinney said. Out front was a triage nurse and an interpreter. Inside was a pharmacy tent, an intravenous treatment tent and a supply tent. Patients would line up outside, talk to the nurse and interpreter, and gain admittance to the help within.

“We put out that we needed interpreters, and of course the local folks are all looking for ways to make money,” Pinney said. “We ended up with 10 interpreters who stayed with us.”

While the medical team saw its fair share of festering earthquake wounds and injuries that had never received proper treatment, Pinney said, more of the ailments it faced were the ongoing, grinding effects of poverty and hunger — easy to treat in the short term but tough to prevent without a wholesale shift in conditions.

Uncontrolled high blood pressure. Untreated diabetes, both adult and juvenile-onset. Ear infections. Scabies and fungal infections — and secondary infections that festered after the primary ones were left untreated. Malnutrition and even typhoid — a disease that can rage where conditions are unsanitary.

“I’ve never seen it in this country,” Pinney said during a telephone interview from his Hockinson home. “But the streets are littered and the water isn’t clean.”

Lack of clean water and hygiene also had the Project Helping Hands seeing plenty of vaginal infections in young girls — not to mention the evidence of sex trafficking and rape.

“There was a girl who was repeatedly raped by a local boy and treated like a slave by her aunt,” Pinney said. “We were able to get her out of that situation.”

All in all, he said, the clinic treated more than 250 people per day — 30 percent to 35 percent of them younger than 18. It amounted to more than 1,400 people over the course of four whole days and two half days.

“There were so many ‘thank yous’ and smiles and ‘God bless yous,’” Pinney said. “It was very rewarding to see how grateful they were for what we did.”

He added that Project Helping Hands apparently scored points for cultural sensitivity — which is part of what had them invited back by One World Mission.

In contrast, one church-sponsored clinic appeared to be interested in treating large numbers of people quickly and in proselytizing, he said. Another faith-based clinic decided to shrug off an official nationwide period of mourning and remembrance one Friday morning; Pinney said that group prayed together and decided God was on their side.

“Their interpreter just went ballistic. He wouldn’t work for them,” Pinney said.

The Project Helping Hands group, by contrast, took its time and talked at some length with each patient. Its host, One World Mission, guaranteed it continuing space and opportunities. “We’re going to have a regular presence in Haiti once or twice a year from now on,” Pinney said.

Pinney said he wanted to thank several generous donors to the Project Helping Hands mission to Haiti, including Lacamas Medical Clinic, which donated $1,000 in equipment, and Hockinson Middle School, which raised $6,300. He will be speaking to a school assembly, and presenting a slide show, at 9 a.m. Thursday.

“I was very impressed by the enormity of the response to Haiti by the people of the world and the people in this country,” he said.

But he won’t be going back to Haiti. Next stop is an orphanage in western Kenya, he said.

“I have always wanted to do this,” said Pinney, 60. “Now that I’ve retired, my skills have given me the opportunity to do something good. It’s been very exciting and very fulfilling.”
