The permit, which was only issued in October 2025, was revoked in less than five months, casting a shadow over the plan to start production by the end of 2026/early 2027 (with a planned annual copper output of 120,000 tons). The project has been stalled for nearly 20 years due to environmental and community disputes, with historical protests resulting in six deaths.$Southern Copper(SCCO.US)" datetime: "2026-04-11T14:48:10.000Z" locales: - [en](https://longbridge.com/en/topics/39852203.md) - [zh-CN](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/topics/39852203.md) - [zh-HK](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/topics/39852203.md) author: "[Bale](https://longbridge.com/en/profiles/21039861.md)" --- # 【Peru Revokes Southern Copper's $1.8 Billion Tia M… ### Related Stocks - [SCCO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SCCO.US.md) ## Comments (1) - **Bale · 2026-04-11T14:48:31.000Z**: Really? 😂
