Abstract

Silver production in Peru was 118 Moz in 2013, which was $3^{rd}$ ranked in the world. Silver production mines which were ranked from $1^{st}$ to $5^{th}$ in Peru in 2013 were Antamina(16.7 Moz), Uchuchacua(12 Moz), Pallancata(7.6 Moz), Anim$\acute{o}$n(7 Moz), and Arcata(5.4 Moz). Total reported silver resources in Peru is about 7,012 Moz, and resources from the belts of Miocene epithermal deposits and the belts of Miocene skarn, replacement and vein deposits are 4,812 Moz, which corresponds to 69% of total resources. There are 14 ongoing projects which will be developed to the production stage from 2014 to 2019. Through these projects, silver production in Peru is expected to be 148 Moz in 2017.

2013년 현재 페루는 전 세계 3위의 은 생산국으로 연간 생산량은 1억 1,800만 온스이다. 2013년도 기준 안타미나(Antamina; 1,670만 온스), 우추차쿠아(Uchuchacua; 1,200만 온스), 파얀카타(Pallancata; 760만 온스), 아니몬(Anim$\acute{o}$n; 700만 온스), 아르카타(Arcata; 540만 온스) 광산의 순서로 생산량이 많다. 페루의 은 자원량은 총 70억 1,200만 온스로, 이 중 48억 1,200만 온스(전체의 69%)가 마이오세 천열수 광화대와 마이오세 스카른, 교대형 광화대에 배태되어 있다. 2014~2019년 생산에 들어갈 예정인 14개 광업 프로젝트가 있으며 이 프로젝트를 통해 오는 2017년 페루의 은 생산량이 최대 1억 4,800만 온스에 달할 것으로 예상된다.
