Peru saw its iron ore output in June rebound after producing zero tons in April and May, as the country remained on a lockdown from March 16 until the end of June.
Minem said Peruvian iron ore output in June reached 393,741 mt, down 57.6 percent, year-on-year, from 927,601 mt in June 2019.
The nation’s ministry of mines and energy (Minem) allowed the mining industry to resume activities in mid-May, but Peru still produced no iron ore for the month.
As for H1, Peruvian iron ore production totaled 2.83 million mt, 36.6 percent down, year-on-year.
