The sign reads 'We achieve victory. No more mining. Panama is green.' Panama's Supreme Court of Justice declared the concession renewal contract between the government and Minera Panama, a subsidiary of the Canadian company First Quantum Mineral (FQM), to continue to operate the Cobre Panama open-pit copper mine, unconstitutional. The decision is expected to put an end to a national crisis and weeks of protests by environmentalists and others and could result in an international arbitration process initiated by Minera Panama.
