On May 12th, the Honourable Seamus O'Regan, Minister of Natural Resources, announced $130,000 for five projects to promote mineral literacy and build a more inclusive mining industry. This announcement came as National Mining Week got underway, a week highlighting the important role mining plays in Canada's economy.

"Minerals and metals are essential to lowering emissions and to building our net-zero future. Investing in mineral literacy is investing in our youth and the future talent of the mining sector", stated Seamus O'Regan.

This Monday, June 7 at 3 pm EDT (2 pm Lima), you are invited to this symposium organized by the Canadian Council for the Americas (CCA), Canada's main forum for the discussion of political and economic problems in the hemisphere that are critical to Canada, and in particular to Canadian trade and investment.

A series of elections, which continues until 2022, is taking place in Latin America and has investors bracing for a new wave of uncertainty over policymaking.  What does it mean for the region, the result of Peru's presidential election ?  What's next for investors in Latin America, a region struggling to keep up with its global peers despite the commodity boom?

Autonomy is already a reality in Peruvian mining. Ferreyros, the Caterpillar representative in Peru, puts the country's first autonomous trucks into operation at the Quellaveco copper project.

For several years, Ferreyros saw the importance of autonomy, which led to training and exchange of experiences with the factory and other Cat dealers in countries such as Australia, Canada, and the United States. And so today, Peruvian engineers and technicians from Ferreyros, together with Caterpillar, have been making autonomy possible in Peru.

Guillermo Bustamante, Consulting and Design Director of InterNexa in Peru pointed out that many companies are digitalizing and the energy sector is no exception: "the great advantage of using cloud services platforms like THUNDER®, our own 100% peruvian cloud, is traceability, the process of evolution without losing information and detecting errors in real-time."

The development of intelligent electrical grids or Smart Grids, which are already applied in Peru in different projects in the sector, allow the integration of ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies) with the provision of energy on the electrical network, paving the way for interconnected services.
