In brief: Peru’s mining exports surge in Q1
*Peru’s mining and energy ministry (Minem) has announced that mineral exports in the first quarter of 2026 totalled US$21.65bn, up 56.2% year-on-year, with the increase mostly driven by increased global demand for metals such as gold, copper, lead, silver, and zinc. This, Minem said, was due to growing demand for minerals needed for the energy transition and for technological infrastructure, as well as the resilience of global prices. Mining exports accounted for 75.4% of Peru’s total exports during the first quarter of the year.
