(\"First Quantum\" or the \"Company\", TSX Symbol \"FM\") today reported that the Cobre Panama project is currently experiencing industrial action which has reduced the level of work being performed on the project. \n\n\n \n \n\n \nThis action was started by a small number of personnel and their outside union leadership on March 9, 2018. The dominant union, which represents the majority of workers, is not involved in the action. Currently, development activity is continuing in two of the four main construction areas.\n\nThe project's security team is working with the authorities to ensure the safety of its employees and assets. \n\nCobre Panama has received significant support from the government including visits from senior Ministers to assist in reaching a resolution. These efforts are continuing.\n\nFurther updates will be provided as warranted.\n\nOn Behalf of the Board of Directors of First Quantum Minerals Ltd.                     G.
