LIMA (Reuters) - Peru's mining minister said on Thursday that unrest at the huge Las Bambas copper mine was partly caused by MMG Ltd's short-sighted decision to rely on a dirt road to transport the metal, and called for a train line to be built instead.

"They made short-term decisions and that has a cost," Energy and Mines Minister Ivan Merino told Reuters during an interview in Lima.
