About Southern Copper
Metal Mining
Southern Copper Corporation is an integrated producer of copper and associated mineral products, primarily mining, smelting, and refining copper, molybdenum, zinc, silver, lead, and gold. The enterprise organizes its activities into three core reportable segments: Peruvian operations, Mexican open-pit operations, and Mexican underground operations. Across these units, the company produces refined copper cathodes, copper rods, zinc, and valuable metallurgical by-products like molybdenum concentrates and sulfuric acid. Rather than focusing on metal trading intermediaries or spot markets, the company primarily serves industrial end users across sectors such as construction, power transmission, telecommunications, and manufacturing, typically supplying them through multi-year and annual contracts.
