Chile June copper output down 0.6 pct yr/yr
In May, Chile's copper output dropped 5.4 percent from the same month in 2009, according to data released last month.
Chile's copper industry, the backbone of its economy, emerged virtually unscathed from a Feb. 27 earthquake that killed hundreds of people and battered the wood pulp, fishing, fruit and wine industries.
