The level of competition in Peru’s mining sector varies with segment. It ranges from a monopolistic market structure in the iron and tin segments; through low competition in molybdenum and a medium level of competition in copper, silver and zinc; to a high degree of competition in gold and lead. Most players are active in multiple segments, since Peru has an abundance of polymetallic deposits (especially zinc, lead and silver combinations). A key characteristic of the gold segment is the existence of a large group of small companies and individual miners engaged in illegal mining.
