Capstone restarts Pinto Valley ops

The Pinto Valley copper mine, 125 km from Phoenix, Arizona, has been safety restarted, following last week’s fire that led to a curtailment of operations. The mine site did not sustain any physical damage during the Woodbury fire, which by Sunday morning had ballooned to more than 96 000 acres and was of “serious concern”, TSX-listed Capstone Mining said on Monday.
