Geopolitics · Mining.com ·
Panama is set to publish on Friday the final audit of First Quantum Minerals' shuttered Cobre Panama copper mine, a key step that could shape the future of one of the world's largest copper operations. The release comes amid renewed anti-mining protests reminiscent of the 2023 unrest that led to the mine's closure. The audit is expected to influence the government's next move on potentially restarting the suspended copper operation, with major implications for global supply.
