FACTBOX - Production at Peru's largest mining companies

May 2 (Reuters) - As a nationwide mining strike went into
its third day on Wednesday, Peruvian miners and government
officials met for intensive talks aimed at ending the walkout
this week.

Some mines had been affected by the indefinite strike,
which began on Monday, but workers at many of the country's top
pits were reporting for duty as usual.

The National Federation of Metallurgic and Steel Miners
called the strike to demand better job benefits and improved
conditions for contract workers.

The following is a list of 2006 production figures for the
nation's major mines, as reported by the government's energy
