May 20 (Reuters) - Executives from mining companies
gathered this week in Peru, the world's fifth-largest gold
producer, for a conference to make deals, swap information on
the global outlook for the precious metal, and talk about new
mines and discoveries in the Andean country.

producer of silver, ranks second in copper and zinc, and fourth
