The Austin Powder company has announced the start of the transport of the white crystalline solid compound, commonly used in mining activities, due to the suspension of operations in the Panama Copper mine.

This material, stored in the warehouse of the international port of Punta Rincón, will be re-exported under strict safety standards and legal regulations.

The Cobre Panama industrial safety team will oversee the operation to ensure that the highest levels of security are applied and risks are minimized to both nearby communities and the environment.

The staff in charge of this activity has been duly trained to ensure proper handling of this material.

The company assured that it has the necessary permits granted by the national authorities to proceed with the transfer. In addition, Cobre Panama has confirmed that it will inform the authorities and the community about all the details of the transport process, allowing the participation and verification of the operation.
