According to SMM, Peru's Ministry of Energy and Mines has stated that the country's copper production in June fell by 11.7% year-on-year to 213,578 tonnes. In the first six months of 2024, Peru's production reached 1.29 million tonnes, a decrease of 2.1% compared to the same period last year. Peru, which is the world's third-largest copper producer, has recently been overtaken by the Democratic Republic of the Congo to become the second-largest. The ministry said it expects production to reach 3 million tonnes this year, up from 2.76 million tonnes last year. Peru entered a technical recession earlier last year, with anti-government protests hitting the crucial mining industry. The country hopes to benefit from the Tia Maria copper mine project initiated by Southern Copper, which is now expected to commence operations in 2027, after more than a decade of stalled development due to opposition from local communities.
