President Dina Boluarte assured that, this year, the goal is to exceed US$5,000 million in mining investment in order to catapult the GDP.
“With this, we will generate more jobs, commerce and growth, favoring the economic reactivation of the country,” said the president during the inauguration of the XV International Mining Meeting organized by the SNMPE.
In the first quarter, private investment from mining reached US$995 million, 17% more than in the same period of 2023, he noted.
Boluarte specified that the main investment amounts are handled by projects such as Quellaveco, Antamina, Toromocho and Las Bambas. On the other hand, he announced that this year they will seek to pass the barrier of 3 million fine metric tons of copper after 2023 when they reached 2.7 million.
The head of state urged mining businessmen to minimize the environmental impact and opt for a sustainable sector. Finally, she stressed that, thanks to the Digital Single Window launched this year, the authorization processes for investment in mining exploration are streamlined.
