BUZZ-Shares in Mexican miner Penoles up over 7 pct as Brexit lifts metals

June 24 (Reuters) -

* Shares (Berlin: DI6.BE - news) in Mexican miner Penoles rose nearly 8 percent on Friday, the day after Britain voted to leave the European Union in a historic referendum.

* The leave vote roiled global financial markets, with $2 trillion in value wiped from equity bourses worldwide, while money poured into safe-haven gold and government bonds. Sterling suffered a record plunge.

* The rise in safe-haven assets like gold lifted shares in Penoles, a miner and metals processor which runs the world's largest primary silver producer, Fresnillo (Other OTC: FNLPF - news) .

* Penoles shares were up 7.84 percent at 382.60 pesos ($20.35) in early morning trading.
