    CNN reported over the weekend that Peru has declared a state of emergency due to violent protests against a mining project in the country. Protests are aimed at the development of Southern Copper’s (NYSE:SCCO) Tia Maria copper mine.

    As quoted in the publication:

    Video showed at least one protester who appeared to be dead from wounds to the head at the Tia Maria copper mine project site. Others battled with police who lobbed tear gas at them.
