Peru's government said on Tuesday that it had reached an agreement with MMG Ltd's Las Bambas mine and the local Chumbivilcas community to avoid road blockades that have threatened production at the huge copper mine.

The country's mining minister said in a tweet that the parties had reached the agreement in crunch talks in the capital, following a temporary halt to the road blockades last week after three weeks of protests.
