MMG has been transporting copper concentrates from its Las Bambas mine, in Peru, since late on Friday, when residents of a nearby town called off protests that had blocked the road used by the company, a representative of the ombudsman’s office said.
The five-day protest in Challhuahuacho ended after the government suspended civil liberties with an emergency decree and set dates to start building a sewage system and hospital that had been promised to the town, said Artemio Solano of the ombudsman’s office in the region of Apurimac.
