LIMA, March 11 (Reuters) - Antapaccay copper mine in Peru, controlled by Glencore, on Thursday announced the suspension of operations due to a road blockade by local communities, said the miner in a statement.
The mine near the city of Espinar in the Cusco region is the sixth largest copper producer in Peru, accounting last year for 8.8% of Peru's total copper production. (Reporting by Marco Aquino, writing by Aislinn Laing)
