MMG says output at Peru copper mine could fall due to road blockade

Production at Chinese miner MMG Ltd’s Las Bambas copper deposit in Peru could fall "in the near term" due to a month-long road blockade by a community that was relocated to build the mine, the company said on Monday.

MMG, controlled by state-owned China Minmetals Corp Ltd , said it had run out of stock at the Peruvian port of Matarani and had warned customers of delays to shipments.
