Why this study

Peru is the world’s #3 copper producer, #2 in both silver and zinc, holder of the planet’s largest silver reserves, and a top-ten gold producer — a polymetallic powerhouse whose growth now hinges on permitting, social licence, and a knife-edge 2026 election. This study gives financial modelers and investors a complete, sourced assumption set for valuing a Peruvian copper, zinc, silver, or gold asset over 2026-2031.

What you get

A 33-page Word/PDF study with 12 EFM-branded charts and 11 data tables.
USGS 2026 production and reserve baselines for all four metals.
An LME copper price outlook (2025 actual plus 2026 bank consensus and a 2026-2031 base case with scenario band) and record-regime silver and gold price decks.
A copper cost-curve and tax-burden view: corporate income tax, the profit-based Mining Royalty, the Special Mining Tax (IEM), the Special Mining Contribution (GEM), and the 8% workers’ profit share.
The full project pipeline — Tia Maria, Zafranal, Los Chancas, Michiquillay, Yanacocha Sulfides, Corani — against a government pipeline exceeding US$60 billion.
Three scenarios to 2031 (Bear 25% / Base 50% / Bull 25%) with explicit copper output and price outcomes.
Coverage of the dominant non-price risks: social conflict on the southern copper corridor, the Tia Maria permit episode, the REINFO informal-mining cliff, and the June 2026 presidential runoff.

Key findings

Peru mined about 2.7 Mt of copper, 1.3-1.4 Mt of zinc, 3,600 t of silver, and 110 t of gold in 2025; it has slipped to #3 in copper behind Chile and DR Congo.
Copper is a price-levered, pipeline-gated growth story — reserves are ample; permitting and social licence are the constraint.
By-product silver, gold, and molybdenum credits — at record precious-metal prices — materially lower effective copper and zinc cash costs and are central to asset economics.
Policy and politics, not commodity demand, are the variables most likely to separate the bear from the bull case at 2031.
