Peru to present mining investment advances

On Monday, March 6, the Minister of Energy and Mines, Oscar Vera will inaugurate “Peru Day” at PDAC 2023, an event dedicated entirely to our country, and will present the progress of Peruvian mining investment to the foreign business world attending this convention.

The head of Minem will make a presentation on mining investment opportunities in Peru and the competitive advantages that have placed us as the second largest copper producer in the world, leaders in zinc and tin production in Latin America, first in silver reserves, lead, and molybdenum in Latin America and silver worldwide.

He will also show the enormous geological potential of Peru, where 14.48% of the national territory is concessioned for mining activity; and only 1.34% of these concessions are earmarked for exploration and exploitation activities. Likewise, Peru offers a modern National Geological Chart and a safe, accessible, and reliable Mining Cadastre System, which is a guarantee for investment.

It should be noted that on Sunday the 5th, Minister Vera will inaugurate the Peruvian Pavilion, a stand installed with the purpose of promoting Peru as an important destination for international investment in mining exploration to the more than 25,000 attendees at the PDAC.

In both events, the head of the Ministry of Energy and Mines will be accompanied by an official delegation from the mining subsector made up of the Vice Minister of Mines, Jaime Chávez-Riva, the General Director of Mining Promotion and Sustainability, Walter Sánchez, the Director of Mining Management, Martha Vásquez, among other sector officials.

Likewise, the president of the Geological Mining Metallurgical Institute (Ingemmet), Henry Luna, will be present, as well as important Peruvian mining businessmen.
