Peru's Energy and Mines Ministry has reported that the country’s gold production for February was 522,373 ounces, compared to 495,337 ounces in February 2008 – rise of 5.5%.
The increase was attributed to higher output at the Minera Barrick Misquichilca mine, as well as at mines owned by Compañia Minera San Simon, Companña Minera Podersoa, Minera Suyamarca and Minera Laytaruma.
Peru also mined 9,596,228 ounces of silver last month, an 11% decrease compared to February 2009’s 10,819,793 ounces of silver were produced.
Meanwhile lead production declined by 11% over the past year, tungsten dropped by 2% and molybdenum rose 13% during the same period.
