Anglo-Swiss mining group Xstrata has temporarily suspended activities at its US$4.2bn Las Bambas project in Peru’s Apurimac region due to protests, spokesperson Domingo Drago told BNamericas. “We have suspended our activities in the area, essentially to preserve the security of our collaborators,” Drago said. “We hope to resume our activities as soon as possible when the security conditions allow for it.”
