MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Canada-based miner First Quantum Minerals (OTC:) is doing everything possible to support its operations in Panama, “including through all available legal means,” it said Friday in a statement, expressing disappointment in the “government’s unnecessary actions.”
Panama’s government ordered the firm on Thursday to pause operations at its flagship mine after missing a deadline to finalize a deal that would have increased payments to the government from the mine.
