Canadian miner suspends loading operations

First Quantum said on Monday its subsidiary Minera Panama, the operator of Cobre Panama copper mine, has suspended concentrate loading operations at the Cobre Panamá port.

Late last month, Panama Maritime Authority had issued the miner a resolution to suspend loading until evidence for the process of certification of calibration of scales by an accredited company was provided, the company said in a release.

The Canadian miner added that it might become necessary to shut down Cobre Panama if the concentrate is not shipped by mid-february, due to limited storage capacity on site.
