In southern Puno, the San Rafael de Minsur tin mine, the world's fourth largest, has slowly restarted operations since March 20 after a roughly 10-week halt due to protests, though blockades continue on weekends.Ī Minsur spokesperson told Reuters the mine was 'on track to be operating at full capacity, but it takes some time to get there. Ratings agency Moody's said in a March report that most miners in Peru had survived relatively unscathed from the protests, though the impact would likely 'delay mining company permits for projects already under construction.' Peru produced some 2.44-million tonnes of copper last year, 4.8% more than in 2021 and very close to the maximum level before the global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. 5 Quick deployment with less spoofing is a. Iridium implemented its positioning solutions using a technology originally intended for pagers, which provided wide coverage, in place and ready for deployment. 'If we manage to resolve the issue of the mining corridor and the 100% effect of Quellaveco, then without a doubt Peru will produce more copper in 2023 than in 2022,' he said. Iridium’s project is less susceptible to spoofing however, the short-wavelength, low-power signals are still vulnerable to jamming. Iridium was designed to use satellite technology as an alternative to cellular devices, which, at the time, were bulky and expensive.

Gobitz said the easing of protests and new mines coming fully online like Anglo American's $5.5-billion Quellaveco would push up overall copper production this year. That's a boost for mines, including Chinese state-owned MMG's Las Bambas, Glencore's Antapaccay, Hudbay's Constancia, and Antamina, co-owned by Glencore, BHP Group, Teck Resources and Mitsubishi. Power data from Peru's private power sector body COES, analyzed by Reuters, shows activity at Peru's top mines has stabilized since early March following the disruptions earlier this year, which stalled production and shipments.
