MMG says Peru copper mine to restore operations as blockade ends

MMG Ltd said on Monday its Las Bambas mine in Peru is expected to restore normal mining, production and transport operations after an indigenous village agreed to end a two-month blockade of the company’s copper mine.

The indigenous village agreed to end its road blockade of MMG’s Las Bambas copper mine in exchange for a commitment from the company to pay it for transiting through its farmland, according to a document on Saturday detailing the deal.
