“If the situation does not change, the mine will not be able to continue copper production,” the company said.
MMG company The Bambas has announced that following transportation disruptions that affected both inbound and outbound traffic, it has been forced to initiate a progressive slowdown of its operations due to shortages of critical supplies and that if the situation persists they should stop production.
“If the situation does not change, the mine will not be able to continue copper production as of February 1, 2023 (Peru time), and the operation will begin a period of care and maintenance,” the company statement stated. .
They specify that transport interruptions continue for several weeks throughout Peru, which has caused major disturbances in the southern region of the country, affecting mining operations along the Southern Road Corridor. As part of the actions carried out by the company to deal with this context, it has mobilized the site’s security team, which has kept the property safe.
“The Company’s top priority is the health and safety of all employees, contractors and members of the community”he assured.
It should be remembered that in December 2022, the ApurÃmac Chamber of Commerce specified to this newspaper that a possible stoppage of The Bambaswould generate a loss of about S/4 million on average each day.
