Peru mining sector development and production

Overview

In Peru, the Tía María copper project in the Arequipa region has reached 42% construction progress as of the second quarter of 2026. With $693 million invested toward a $1.8 billion budget, the project is expected to begin operations in the third quarter of 2027. The project was declared a matter of national interest in April 2026 after a brief revocation of its status.

Broader mining data for Peru indicates growth across several metals during the first half of 2026. Iron production increased by 41.1% cumulatively, while tin production rose by 12.9% in June. Molybdenum and copper production also saw annual increases, with molybdenum growth largely driven by output in the Arequipa, Moquegua, and Tacna regions.
