A government commission in Panama recommended opening formal negotiations with FIRST QUANTUM MINERALS LTD on Wednesday afternoon to establish conditions for reopening the shuttered Cobre Panama mine. The site represents one of the world's largest open-pit deposits for Copper, which accounted for 1% of global production before its closure. The proposal aims to use operating activity to fund a phased, long-term environmental rehabilitation at no cost to the state.
