Cobre Panamá reported this week the arrival of ships in the port of Punta Rincón, in Donos.
According to the company, these vessels supply the mine with essential supplies such as fuel. In addition, they ensure that they play a key rolein the maintenance and cleaning of mines.
“They remove old steel and other materials to avoid environmental impact,” the company details.
A care and maintenance plan is currently being implemented, after the contract between Minera Panamá and the state was declared unconstitutional late last year.

A group of Donos residents went to the Ministry of Trade and Industry this week to demand answers about the closure plan and the employment situation they face.
Eliécer Fernández, a resident of Donos, emphasized that more than two months after the verdict, the authorities had no contact with the communities.
He emphasized that more than 300 young people were affected mine closurewhich caused psychological and economic injuries.
Leaders of community organizations are asking to know more about the maintenance plan, to have responsible staff from nearby towns and to be part of the closure committee.
Fernández also stated that although not everything was perfect, the mine had positively changed the situation in the town, through roads, bridges and employment opportunities.
“The growth in the communities is projected. The company was a small countrywhich solved the problems because the central government kept those communities out of its scope of investment,” Fernández told Nex Noticias.
