BHP to pay higher Chile royalties on mining deal January 20, 2011 - 7:00AM.
The largest mining companies operating in Chile have agreed to pay a temporary increase in royalties that should raise more than $US1 billion ($A1 billion) to help dozens of cities and coastal fishing villages rebuild from last year's devastating earthquake and tsunami.
The companies will pay between 4 per cent and 9 per cent more through 2014 for the copper, gold and other minerals they extract in Chile, the mining and finance ministries announced Wednesday.

The three largest private mining companies operating in Chile are BHP Billiton of England and Australia, Chile's Antofagasta Minerals SA, and England's Anglo American PLC.
