A higher production of copper, zinc and silver is expected in 2015, due to mineral extractions at projects: Constancia, Cerro Verde and Toromocho, said Edgardo Alva, the General Director of Mining at Peru's Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM). 

Striking workers at Peruvian polymetallic producer Minera Casapalca blocked the main highway in the central Andean Junín region as a labor stoppage entered its seventh day on Wednesday, a union official said.

The strike is the second at the mine in the past nine months

Some 2,000 striking workers are pressuring Casapalca owners the Gubbins Group to reinstate four workers and replace two company executives, union general secretary Erasmo Mayta told BNamericas.

The Ministry of Production (Produce) has created a technological innovation center for fishing development (Cite Pesquero) as part of the productive diversification process launched by the government throughout the country. 

Physicians at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center used state-of-the-art 3D CT scan technology for the first time Wednesday night, to learn about a Peruvian child mummy.

The new medical imaging procedure, as doctors believed, enabled them to learn the child's gender, and whether the child had an illness or injury. The scan also allowed doctors to study the mummy's body, and learn about its culture without any destruction.

Amaru in St Katherine's Dock takes fusion in a Japanese- Peruvian direction. The brainchild of the team behind Bravas Tapas - restaurateur Bal Thind and chef Victor Garvey, Amaru is very much a Nikkei eatery and takeout joint, so it's not a place for romance. Victor wanted the interior to be reminiscent of an izakaya, the Japanese equivalent to a gastropub. And while it doesn't look like any gastropub I've been to, its clean lines, light brown wood interiors, and ample outside space, work well in its waterside location. The menu features salads, ceviches and tiraditos.

The initiative, known as: "¿Y tú qué planes?" (And you, any plans?), won the 11th edition of the United Nations World Tourism Organization's 'Ulysses Awards for Excellence and Innovation in Tourism', announced today Foreign Trade and Tourism Minister, Magali Silva.
