Residents near MMG Ltd's Las Bamba have blocked a road. LIMA, Aug 17 (Reuters) - Residents near MMG Ltd's Las Bambas copper mine in the Peruvian Andes have blocked a road used to transport the metal after a two-week truce, community leaders said on Tuesday. The road, known as the mining corridor, goes through several districts in the province of Chumbivilcas in Peru's Cuzco region.
"The communities have decided to restart the road blockage because the company does not want to participate in dialogue to solve the conflict," Walter Molina, who represents nearby communities, said in a phone interview. An MMG representative in Peru declined to comment.
Australia-based MMG is a subsidiary of Chinese state-owned enterprise China Minmetals Corp. Las Bambas produces 400,000 tonnes of copper a year and is one of the largest mines in Peru, which is itself the world's No. 2 producer of the metal."
