LIMA (Reuters) - Peruvian community protesters that have blocked a key transport road used by MMG Ltd's Las Bambas copper mine will clear the route until at least Dec. 30 following talks with the government, an adviser to the group told Reuters on Wednesday.

The blockade, which has been in place for over a month, had snarled production at the major mine which produces some 2% of global copper output and created a major issue for the government of leftist President Pedro Castillo.
