March 10 (Reuters) - Panama's trade minister said Friday
he trusts the text of a deal reached with Canada's First Quantum
Minerals to regulate their operations in a major copper mine
will be approved by the remaining Panamanian authorities.
The contract meets "the best interests for the country,"
Minister Federico Alfaro told Reuters, adding it limits the
firm's tax credits to a maximum of $35 million per year from a
previous request of $1.2 billion.
