Doe Run Peru is shutting down operations at its La Oroya metallurgical complex, a company official said Tuesday. “Yes. We are in this process (of shutting down.) The problem is a lack of concentrates,” said Jose Mogrovejo, Doe Run Peru’s vice president for environmental affairs.
Doe Run Peru, a unit of the U.S.-based Renco Group Inc., had earlier worked out a deal with the Peruvian government and private sector suppliers to keep the complex running.
