Peru copper mines rev back up to full power after protest hit, data show

Key copper mines in Peru are cranking up activity again after protests and blockades dented production, power data analyzed by Reuters showed, potentially boosting supply from the world’s no. 2 producer of the red metal.

Major copper mines including Las Bambas, owned by China’s MMG Ltd (1208.HK), and Glencore Plc’s (GLEN.L) Antapaccay are drawing on full power, publicly available electricity data up to Friday show, after reduced usage amid disruptions.
