TORONTO, July 2 (Reuters) - Shares of Canadian miner

First Quantum Minerals ( FQVLF ) jumped 6% on the Toronto Stock

would conduct an environmental audit of the Cobre Panama mine to

decide whether it can safely be reopened.

President Jose Raul Mulino officially took charge of the

Panama government on Monday and made the announcement of an

environmental audit in his first address as the head of the
