The mining market of Latin America is majorly comprised of minerals such as gold, silver, copper, iron ore, tin, bauxite, lead and niobium which are produced in Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Peru and in Venezuela. The report provides the market share and company profiles of major players in the major segments.
A strong demand for metals has led to the growth and expansion of the mining industry in Latin America. The demand of metals especially copper, bauxite, zinc, molybdenum, gold and silver have increased sizably over the years in Latin America. The region is one of the leading producers of iron ore, copper, niobium, lithium and rhenium in the world. Latin America has rich mineral reserves and has attracted many mining companies from across the world which has contributed significantly to the growth of the mining sector in the region. A surge in the demand of minerals has driven extensive mineral exploration activities in the region. In Brazil, USD 500 million was invested in 2011 on mineral exploration by the mining companies.
Latin America is comprised of mineral rich countries which are the leading producers of minerals in the world. For instance, Brazil in 2012 was the leading producer of niobium globally. The country was also the second largest producer of iron ore in 2012. The total iron production by the country in 2012 amounted to 415 million tons. Chile is one of the principal mining countries in Latin America and was ranked first as the producer of copper globally in 2011 and accounted for about 32.0% of the world’s mine production in 2011. Mexico has rich reserves for precious metals such as gold and silver. The country is one of the leading producers of silver in the world. The major silver producing mines in Mexico are Fresnillo, Saucito, San Dimas mine, Sabinas and Tizapa mine.
