Peru has the world’s third largest copper reserves in the world after Peru and Australia, with 77 million tonnes (Mt), equivalent to 8.8% of the global total as of January 2022. After witnessing a significant fall in 2020 owing to the pandemic-related restrictions, Peru’s copper mine production recovered by 6.9% to 2,299.3Kt in 2021, as mining companies gradually started to operate at pre-COVID levels, which was supported by increasing copper prices.Despite these suspensions, in 2022, the country’s copper production is forecast to increase by 4.8%, to reach 2.3Mt, before rising to 3.1Mt by 2026 – a CAGR of 6.3% over the forecast period (2022-2026). Overall, production will be largely supported by production from the existing portfolio of operating mines including, Antamina, Cerro Verde and Las Bambas (subject to the resumption in mining activities soon), which is expected to contribute for up to 50% of the growth over the forecast period.
