Southern Copper says it is close to sealing deal for Cuajone mine restart in Peru
Southern Copper Corp said on Saturday that it was close to finalizing a deal with a group of communities to lift a protest that had led its Cuajone mine to suspend operations, pending the ratification of the agreement by local community assemblies.
The Cuajone copper mine suspended operations on Febuary 28, after four communities in southern Peru shut down water access to the company and also blockaded a rail road used to transport the mineral.
