The company produced 271,312 tonnes of copper in the quarter, 7,200t of molybdenum, 16,466t of zinc, and some gold and silver and sulphuric acid.
The company called on the government of Peru to recognise the advances it has made towards obtaining a social licence to develop its permitted Tia Maria copper project in Arequipa, whose development has been halted due to social resistance.
"We expect the Peruvian government to acknowledge the significant progress the project has made in the social environment and the important contributions that Tia Maria will make to the Peruvian economy, and thus, take the necessary steps to begin construction," Grupo Mexico said.
Shares in Grupo Mexico are trading at US$4.85, valuing the company at $37.2 billion.
