The Minister of Energy and Mines, Jorge Montero, opened the Conference of Ministers of Mining of the Americas (CAMMA) 2025, hosted by Peru during PDAC 2025.

He urged his fellow ministers to embrace the challenges and opportunities in the mining sector related to energy transition, the rising need for critical minerals, and the importance of enhancing sustainability and governance in the industry.

CAMMA serves as a vital platform for developing shared strategies to tackle these issues. Thus, he proposed strengthening CAMMA's role as an official political and technical support body.

Additionally, he highlighted the need to exchange knowledge on geological data, technological advancements, mining strategies, and combating illegal mining. This collaboration aims to build capacity among American countries and create opportunities for inclusive growth. A new initiative discussed was promoting Peruvian mining investments internationally.
