Peru, the world's No. 2 copper producer, is currently in the throes of its worst civil unrest in over 20 years, posing a risk to mining activity and copper transport that has buoyed global prices of the metal on supply worries and hit some company share prices.
"Due to the road blockades, no type of transport activity is being carried out, this includes the transport of concentrate for export."
