Exclusive: Southern Copper says Ilo shutting for maintenance


    LIMA (Reuters) - Southern Copper was shutting on Monday its Peruvian smelter Ilo for a month for maintenance work, Chief Executive Oscar Gonzales said.

    The company, one of the world's largest copper producers, said it will sell copper concentrates to avoid excess inventory while Ilo's output of anodes and cathodes is halted.
