First Quantum says it has complied with all rules in Panama mining contract

Canadian miner First Quantum Minerals said on Wednesday it had "fully complied" with local rules in operating Cobre Panama, one of the region’s largest copper mines, after Panama’s president-elect said he would review the company’s contract.

Laurentino Cortizo, who takes office in July, said on Tuesday that the government was entitled to go over the contract "clause by clause".
