Peru’s Minsur SA, which operates the world’s largest tin mine, signed a new labour agreement with its workers on 26 June.
Minsur will give 2,100 workers at its San Rafael mine in the southern Andes a daily wage increase of 4.65 soles ($1.47) plus a monthly bonus of 20 soles, Labour Ministry spokesman Martin Vargas said in a telephone interview with Bloomberg News.
The company’s production of tin-in-concentrates in January-May was 15,917 tonnes, 4.7% lower than in the same period of 2006.
