The Fuerabamba community of the Andean region of Cusco agreed in a meeting late on Friday to end a conflict over compensation that held back exports from Las Bambas, which is controlled by Chinese miner MMG Ltd, according to a statement by Las Bambas mining company. Fuerabamba villagers had since February camped out along a stretch of road in the highland region of Cusco, blocking MMG’s trucks from transporting copper from Las Bambas. “As a result of the meeting, the free transit of concentrate trucks and supplies through the stretch of public road that crosses the Yavi Yavi farmland has been re-established,” the company said.
