en.Wedoany.com Reported - In March 2026, Peru's national tin production reached 2,744 tons of refined tin (TMF), up 5.1% month-on-month, but down 6.1% compared to 2,923 tons in March 2025. This data comes from the Mining Statistical Bulletin (BEM) published by the Ministry of Energy and Mines (Minem).

Monthly production rebounded from February but remained below the level of the same period last year. Cumulative tin production from January to March 2026 stood at 7,993 tons of refined tin, a slight contraction of 0.8% compared to 8,058 tons in the first quarter of 2025.

All of Peru's tin production comes from a single mining operation. Minsur S.A. maintains its position as Peru's sole tin producer through the San Rafael mining unit located in the Puno region. The San Rafael mine is considered one of the world's most important tin mines, and its output is strategically significant for Peru's domestic tin supply, primarily used in the electronics industry, welding, and new technology sectors.

Despite the month-on-month increase in March, the cumulative result for the first quarter showed a slight decline compared to last year, against a backdrop of metal market volatility and operational changes in mining activities. Minsur's performance will be a key factor in the evolution of Peru's national tin production in the coming months, as it concentrates 100% of the country's supply of this metal.
