Canadian miner Hudbay Minerals said on Tuesday that its Constancia mill in Peru has been temporarily shut down and non-essential workforce has been demobilized due to riots in Lima and several protests across the country.

Peru's informal miners have staged protests over stricter permit rules over the past few months, blocking key copper transport routes and disrupting operations.

Along with others in the southern mining corridor, Hudbay's mine has been impacted by local protests and blockades.

The company added that it will continue to collaborate with government and legal authorities to engage with the protesters to achieve a resolution that will allow operations to return to normal as soon as possible.

Hudbay said these temporary disruptions will be resolved and will not impact its ability to meet its 2025 production and cost guidance range.
