Mining is an economically significant sector in Peru, contributing around 11% to the country's total production and 57% of its export value. Of all mining exports, copper represents the largest share at 52%, followed by gold at 27% and zinc at 7%. Due to its geological diversity, Peru ranks among the top eight mineral-producing countries in the world in terms of both quantity and variety of minerals. Currently, over 130 underground mines are operating across the country. While their production is important, it does not match the output of open-pit operations. According to the Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM), underground mining involves a larger number of operations than surface mining, representing almost 65% of all mining units.

B2Gold initiates PEA for Springbok Zone at Otjikoto Mine Canadian miner B2Gold Corp. is set to initiate a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) as it aims to determine the economic viability of its Springbok Zone, it said. This after the conclusion of exploratory work that deemed the mineral resource estimate of the zone sufficient. “B2Gold determined that the initial inferred mineral resource estimate was sufficient to initiate a PEA on development of the deposit by underground mining methods, similar to the Wolfshag deposit,” it said in an update. B2Gold added that the Springbok Zone could potentially add to overall gold production as of 2026. Read the full report here: https://q.my.na/UQYA #namibia #mining #gold
