About Doe Run Peru
Doe Run Peru is a mining and metals company that employs some 3,000 people at its operations in Peru’s central Andes. The company has run the La Oroya metallurgical complex since 1997 and the Cobriza mine in the Huancavelica region since 1998. Together they produce high-quality refined metals while at the same time working to operate in a socially and environmentally responsible way.
The La Oroya complex produces premium metals including copper, lead, zinc, bismuth, silver and indium, all important components of state-of-the-art technology, better roadways and improved safety for communities the world over. The underground Cobriza mine, the most mechanized mining facility in the country, produces copper concentrates. Cobriza’s sustainable development efforts extend to all of its neighboring communities, especially through community partnerships, with a goal of improving living standards and making direct contributions to development in areas surrounding the company’s facility.
In early 2007 we began a new relationship as an affiliate of our former parent, The Doe Run Company of St. Louis, Missouri. We are now equal and independent entities, but still with a shared vision of becoming a global provider of premium metals and services.
