The move seeks to protect American manufacturing jobs from China’s "unfair" trade practices by more than tripling U.S. tariffs to 25% for some products and increasing others from 0% or 7.5%.

Pellet production rose 2% to 8.5 metric tons while copper output grew 22% to 81.9 kilotons, mainly from the Salobo 3 ramp-up.

Tambomayo surpassed gold, lead and zinc projections due to mining in higher-grade areas, though silver production was lower.

Julcani and Uchucchacua met their production targets for silver, lead and zinc, while Yumpag started silver processing earlier than anticipated after receiving operational permits.
El Brocal’s copper production was on target, with higher silver output and lower zinc grades. Its lead and zinc operations are under maintenance, aiming for an underground exploitation rate of 10,500 tons per day.
