BHP's CEO Andrew MackenzieAlready announced last year that it wants to massively expand its copper exposure and referred both to the medium-term declining supply, as well as to the rising demand from renewable energy and the growth of the electric car industry . Now the 61-year-old Scotsman said that Cascabel is securing a "top quality copper project". This should in principle Newcrest Miningagree to see the entry of Londoners but with concern.
