MMG declares force majeure on supply from Las Bambas copper mine – sources

Australia-based miner MMG Ltd has declared force majeure on supplies from Las Bambas copper mine in Peru, two sources from smelters told Reuters on Thursday.

MMG, owned by China Minmetals, has given notice to customers on their force majeure due to the lockdown in Peru to contain the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus, the sources said.
