Peru’s copper output could hit a record 2.5 million tonnes in 2021, well over the 2.15 million tonnes produced last year, Energy and Mines Minister Jaime Gálvez said on Tuesday.

Gálvez said recent mine expansions would help the world’s No. 2 copper producer boost output, as well as the opening in April or May of the $1.6 billion Minas Justa project, owned by Minsur.
