Video: Cobre Panama mine closure investigated by Canada’s CTV News
“How a Canadian copper mine triggered an uprising in Panama” was the tagline of a W5 Investigation by CTV News, aired on National television over the February long weekend.
W5 investigated how the Panamanian government’s 20-year mining concession with Canadian mining company First Quantum Minerals triggered mass protests and civil unrest amid allegations of corruption and fears of environmental degradation — prompting the country’s Supreme Court to intervene.
