Monterrico Metals was another casualty, falling 24-1/2 pence to 428 after it
was revealed that the feasibility study at the Rio Blanco Copper Molybdenum
Project has been delayed.
Monterrico said the BFS at Rio Blanco has been delayed after adverse
attention from minority groups in northern Peru. The scope of the BFS has been
increased to make more of the economic potential of Rio Blanco and to mitigate
the risks posed by these groups.
