LIMA (Reuters) - MMG Ltd's Las Bambas, one of Peru's largest copper mines, said on Thursday that it does not have any pending commitments with Andean communities that have blocked the road used by the company to transport the mineral.

Residents from the province of Cotabambas, where Las Bambas is located, have blocked the road since Monday, following failed negotiations with the country's government and with MMG, alleging the mine has failed to honor commitments.
