Total reported gold resources in Peru is about 192 Moz. Gold production in Peru was 4.9 Moz in 2013, which
was ranked first in Latin America and sixth in the world. Historic cumulative gold production in Peru is 118 Moz,
and production from main gold belts including Miocene epithermal belt, Carboniferous-Permian orogenic gold belt
and Upper Cretaceous intrusion-related gold belt corresponds to 84%. Most of production areas are located in
Northern part of Peru, which corresponds to 63.5% of the total domestic production. Annual production onces in
Yanacocha mine and Alto Chicama were 1 Moz and 0.606 Moz in 2013, which were ranked first and second in
Peru, respectively. Gold production in Peru is expected to be 6.5 Moz in 2017. To accomplish the expected produc-
tion, ongoing 14 projects should be developed to the production stage in three years.
Key words : gold, production, Peru
