    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Last month, Vancouver-based First Quantum Minerals Ltd. was awarded a contract to continue operations at a massive open-pit copper mine in Panama.

    The mine faces legal and constitutional challenges from the country’s top court, and citizens may get a chance to vote on the contract extension in a referendum next month.

    Photos and videos of the shocking incident are circulating online, and the country’s law enforcement agency said on X that a man has been arrested and charged in relation to the crimes.

    “Nothing additional to add at this time,” a spokesperson for First Quantum told CBC News in a statement, when asked if it was rethinking its plans following the shootings.

    The company may be proceeding with business as usual, assuming the contract to mine the site will prevail, but investors are unconvinced that things are going to play out as planned.

    “There still remains a high degree of uncertainty about the future … and whether or not the terms of the contract will be renegotiated,” TD Bank analyst Greg Barnes said in a note to clients.
