Peru’s copper production plunged 12.5% to 2.15 million tonnes in 2020, the country’s Energy and Mines Ministry said on Monday, driven down by coronavirus-related restrictions that hammered output in the world’s second-largest producer of the red metal.
The ministry said gold production also dipped 32% in 2020, to 87.3 million fine grams.
