LIMA, Nov 10 (Reuters) - Workers at Antamina, a major copper mine in Peru, said on Tuesday contract talks with the company had broken down and that they will prepare to strike.

The union and the company are negotiating a new contract to replace a three-year agreement that expired in late July.

Antamina is a joint venture between BHP Billiton Ltd <BHP.AX> <BLT.L>, Xstrata Copper <XTA.L>, Teck Cominco Ltd <TCKb.TO> and Mitsubishi Corp <8058.T>. (Reporting by Patricia Velez; Writing by Dana Ford)
