BBC Cobre Panamá: Panama orders controversial copper mine's closure 29 Nov 2023 By Vanessa Buschschlüter

　露天掘りで、周辺環境に悪影響を与えすぎるだろう！だとか、パナマにあんまり利益がないんじゃないかな、という疑いがあるとか。

「Panama has announced the closure of a controversial copper mine after the Supreme Court ruled that a 20-year concession granted to a Canadian firm to operate it was unconstitutional.

The decision has been welcomed by environmentalists who said the open-pit mine threatened water supplies.」

「Cobre Panamá is located in a biodiverse jungle area on Panama's Atlantic coast.」

「Cobre Panamá, which has two open pits, a processing plant and its own port, is one of the largest copper mines to be opened in the past decade anywhere in the world.」

　GDPにパーセンテージレベルで影響を与える事業だそうで。なかなかに断腸の思いの判定と思われる。

「It began producing copper in 2019, providing around 1% of the global copper output.」

　というか、世界の銅生産の1％を占めるほどとか。

「President Laurentino Cortizo said on X, formerly Twitter, that he would "abide by the decision of the Supreme Court".」

　…専門業界は大慌てで計画を練り直しているだろう。
