Strong copper price reviving Peru's mining mojo, Minister says

Peru's dented mining mojo, hit by years of political turmoil in the Andean country, is being buoyed by strong copper prices and a bullish outlook they will rise further, helping lure back investor interest, the country's Mining Minister said on Friday. "The price of copper is a great attraction," Romulo Mucho, told Reuters in an interview at his office, a reference to prices that hit two-year peaks of $10 208 a metric ton this week, close to the record high of $10 845 in March 2022.
