Panama’s President Jose Raul Mulino said his government is studying options to restart the nation’s flagship copper mine without the need for congressional approval.
The government has been deliberating possible pathways to reopening the mine ahead of talks with operator First Quantum Minerals Ltd., Mulino said Wednesday at a chamber of commerce event in Panama City. Authorities are also starting an audit of the shuttered mine to evaluate facilities and environmental risks.
