IC OVERVIEW

PER EN EL
CONTEXTO
MUNDIAL

En el 2015, la actividad econmica global se

man tuvo atenuada con crecimiento promedio
ascenden te a 2.4%, rezagada ligeramente
en relacin al ao
2014
.
A pesar de que sostiene ms del 70% del
creci miento mundial, las economas de
mercados emer gentes y en desarrollo se
desaceleraron por quinto ao consecutivo; en
tanto que las economas avan zadas siguieron
registrando una ligera recuperacin. Las
perspectivas mundiales siguen estando
deter minadas por tres transiciones crticas:
1) la des aceleracin y reestabilizacin
gradual de la activi dad econmica de China
(que se est alejando de la inversin y la
manufactura para orientarse
hacia el
consumo y los servicios); 2) la trayectoria
des cendente de los precios de la energa y
de otras materias primas; y 3) el
endurecimiento paulatino de la poltica
monetaria de Estados Unidos en el contexto
de una frgil recuperacin econmica.
Desde el ao 2005 esta economa no ha
llegado a tasas de crecimiento superiores a
3%; lo que ge nera incertidumbre respecto
a las expectativas de un slido crecimiento;
en el ao 2015 report un crecimiento
cercano al 2.4%, donde la inversin y
consumo no se han recuperado, adicionado
al fac tor de aumento del valor del dlar que
ha encareci do las exportaciones afectando

su demanda, por el lado

monetario presenta un
panorama con tasas de inters
con presin al alza frente a la
volatilidad de los mercados
financieros, en un momento
en que

los bancos centrales de otras importantes

econo mas avanzadas continan distendiendo
la poltica monetaria.
El crecimiento global de China estuvo
evolucio
nando en menor grado a lo previsto oscilando
entre
6.8% y 6.9%, acompaando por una dinmica
de balanza comercial
donde
las
importaciones y las
exportaciones se estn enfriando con ms
rapidez que la esperada, en parte como
consecuencia de la
contraccin de la inversin y de la actividad
manu facturera. Se viene recomponiendo la
estructura de la generacin de valor en esta
economa donde la
inversin ha disminuido y el crecimiento se
funda
mente en el consumo interno que alcanz la
parti
cipacin del 50% del
PBI.
Esta situacin, sumada a las inquietudes del
mer cado en torno al futuro desempeo de la
economa china,
est creando efectos
replicantes en econo mas vinculadas a travs
de los canales comercia les y de la cada de
los precios de las materias primas, as como
mediante
una menor
confianza y un
recrudecimiento de la volatilidad en los
merca dos financieros.
La actividad manufacturera y el comercio siguen
sien do dbiles en el mundo entero, debido no
solo a la situacin de China sino tambin a la
debilidad de la demanda mundial y de la
inversin a nivel ms amplio (y, especialmente,

la contraccin de la inversin en las industrias extractivas).

Adems, la cada drstica de las importaciones observada en
una serie de eco nomas de mercados emergentes y en
desarrollo aque jadas por tensiones econmicas tambin
est afec tando negativamente el comercio mundial.

Los resultados de crecimiento para Amrica

Latina muestran
los efectos
de este
comportamiento don de el mayor impacto
correspondi a las tasas de clinantes de
Amrica del Sur y reducciones en la
demanda interna con su efecto en la
disminucin de las importaciones y en los
componentes de con sumo e inversin
particularmente en la formacin bruta de
capital fijo, influenciada por las tasas ne
gativas de Brasil y la Repblica Bolivariana
de Ve nezuela.
El dispar desempeo macroeconmico de
los pa ses enmarcado en las matrices
productivas expor tables fundamentales de
cada pas, se refleja en una diversidad de
situaciones fiscales. Los pases exportadores
de materias primas muestran una sig
nificativa cada de los ingresos fiscales,
afectados por menores precios de los
productos bsicos de exportacin, que ha

sido compensada por aumen tos de los

ingresos tributarios y por ajustes propor
cionales en los niveles de gasto pblico en
varios pases de la regin.
En poltica monetaria los bancos centrales
han pro curado impedir la desaceleracin de
la oferta mo netaria con la finalidad de
estimular la demanda agregada. Los
ingresos fiscales de Amrica Latina
registraron un deterioro en 2015,
fundamentado por la cada de los ingresos
provenientes de recursos naturales no
renovables. El desplome del precio
internacional donde destaca una reduccin
impor tante de los ingresos totales, en
particular de los no tributarios, en Mxico
(3.2 puntos del PIB) y en los dems
exportadores de hidrocarburos (2.6 pun tos).
Asimismo, los exportadores de minerales y
metales experimentaron una nueva
disminucin de

sus ingresos no tributarios ( de 0.7 puntos

del PIB en el caso de Chile y de 0.5 puntos
en el caso del Per).
Sin embargo,
la recuperacin
de la
economa na cional se ha visto beneficiada,
en gran parte, por la consolidacin del
crecimiento del PBlminero, que se viene
incrementando desde marzo del 2015. El
sector viene siendo impulsado por la mayor
pro duccin de cobre, debido a la puesta en
marcha de importantes proyectos mineros,
como Constancia (Cusca)
y Toromocho
(Junn). El MEM ha venido incorporando
iniciativas
referidas a la intervencin
temprana, la atencin descentralizada de la
con flictividad,
la
participacin
multisectorial articula da para la promocin
de la transparencia en las ac tividades
extractivas.
El comportamiento de las inversiones
mineras re sinti los efectos del entorno
internacional producto de la crisis global y
la consecuente ralentizacin de la economa
en promedio al cierre del ao ante

rior donde el sensible componente de

inversin en exploracin ha soportado el
mayor rezago donde una variable cooperante
est vinculada a que las em presas que
exploran han agotado sus reservas de
capital, y la debilidad de los mercados
financieros, donde los agentes econmicos
vinculados a la ac tividad minera gestionan
sus recursos con estrate gias conservadoras,
(considerando que el costo de financiamiento
se ha encarecido) ha hecho que sea difcil
conseguir liquidez en el corto plazo con un
entorno fluctuante en el precio de los
principales metales.
Las cifras de SNL Metals & Mining, confirman
el retroceso de los montos de inversin
minera a ni vel mundial indicando que la
inversin en explora cin minera viene
descendiendo desde el ao 2012 al ao 2015.
La industria de minera y metales en el Per
concentra sus esfuerzos en el crecimiento a
largo plazo mediante la expansin de la
produc cin, eficiencia de operaciones y
costos. Adicio

nalmente, se debe considerar que Amrica

Latina sigue siendo el principal destino de
las inversio nes en exploracin minera y
cuatro pases (Chile, Per, Mxico y Brasil) se
mantienen en el top ten y concentran algo
ms del 80% de la inversin en la regin.
Durante los ltimos cinco aos se han
ejecutado inversiones en minera del orden de
los US$ 42,000 millones, que representa el
68% de toda la inver sin ejecutada en
minera desde enero de 1996 a diciembre
del 2015 (US$ 60,884 millones).

La actividad productiva nacional en el ao

2015, ce rr con un crecimiento de 3.33%,
tasa que supera a la registrada en el ao 2014
que fue de 2.35%. Di cho resultado fue
impulsado por el aumento de las actividades
primarias en 7.37% y servicios en 4.89%;
mientras que las actividades de transformacin
dis minuyeron en 3.07%. En el crecimiento
del ao

En diciembre de 2015, el sector minera e
hidro carburos aument en 22.36%
registrando un creci miento rcord desde
junio de 2002 que fue de
24.98%, explicado por la mayor extraccin
de co

OVERVIEW
PERU
IN
CONTEXT

THE

WORLD

In 2015, global economic activity remained attenuated

with an ave
rage growth rising to 2.4%, lagging slightly compared
to 2014.
Despite holding more than 70% ot global growth, emerging
markets and developing countries slowed far the fifth
consecutive year; while advanced economies continued to
show a slight recovery. Global prospects remain determined
by three critica/ transitions: 1) gradual deceleration and
gradual restabilization ot economic activity in China (which is
moving away from investment and manutacturing to be
oriented towards consumption and services); 2) the
downward trend in prices ot energy and other raw
materials; and 3) the gradual tightening ot monetary US
policy in the context of a tragile economic recovery.
Since 2005 this economy has not reached growth rates
above 3%;
which creates uncertainty regarding expectations ot strong
growth; in
2015 reported a growth
of nearly 2.4%,
where
investment and consumption have not recovered, added
to the factor ot increase in the value ot the dallar has
become in more expensive exports attecting their demand, on
the monetary side presents a picture with interest rates with
upward pressure against the volatility ot financia/ markets, at
a time when central banks in other majar advanced
economies continue distending monetary policy.
The overa// growth ot China was evolving to a /esser
extent than expected ranging between 6.8% and 6.9%,
accompanied by a dynamic trade balance where imports
and exports are cooling raster than expected, partly as a
result ot the contraction in investment and manutacturing
activity. lt has been recomposing together the structure ot
value generation in this economy where investment has
declined and growth is based on domestic consumption
which reached the
50%
of
GDP
This situation, coupled with market concerns about the
tuture perfor mance ot the Chinese economy is creating
replicant
ettects in economies linked through trade
commercial channels and the talling prices ot raw materials
economies as we/1 as by reduced contidence and an upsurge
in volatility in financia! markets.
Manutacturing activity and trade remain weak in the world,
due not only to the situation ot China but a/so to the
weakness ot global demand and investment at broader leve!
(and especial/y the contraction ot investment in extractive
industries). In addition, the drastic tal! in imports observed
in a number ot economies ot emerging markets and
developing afflicted by economic tensions is a/so negatively
attecting world trade.

ot this behavior where the greatest impact corresponded

to declining rates in South America and reductions in
domestic demand with its ettect on decreasing imports and
components ot consumption and investment particular/y in
the gross fixed capital tormation, influenced by the
negative rates ot Brazil and the Bolivarian Republic ot
Venezuela.
The unequal macroeconomic
performance ot countries
tramed within main exportable productive matrices ot each
country, is reflected in a

variety ot tax situations. Exporter countries of raw materials

show a significant drop in tax revenues, attected by lower
prices ot export commodities, which has been offset by
increases in tax revenues and proportional adjustments in
the levels of public spending in severa! countries ot the
region.
In monetary policy central banks have sought to prevent the
slowdown ot money supply in arder to stimulate aggregate
demand. Tax revenues in Latin America recorded a decline
in 2015, tounded by talling revenues trom nonrenewable
natural resources. The collapse ot the international price
which highlights a signiticant reduction ot total revenues,
particular/y nontax, in Mexico (3.2 points ot GDP) and
other exporters ot hydrocarbons
(2. 6 points). A/so,
exporters ot minerals and metals experienced a turther
decline in their nontax revenues (from 0.7 percent ot GDP
in the case ot Chile and 0.5 points in the case ot Peru).
However, the recovery ot the national economy has benefited,
largely due to the consolidation ot mining GDP growth,
which has been increasing since March 2015. The sector is
being driven by increased copper production, due to the
implementation ot majar mining projects such as Constancia
(Cusca) and Toromocho (Junin).
The MEM has been
incorporating
initiatives
on early
intervention,
decentralized attention to conflict, articulated multisectorial
participation to promote transparency
in
extractive
activities.
The behavior
ot mining investments suttered the
ettects ot the international environment product ot
the global crisis and the
consequent slowdown in the economy on average at the
end ot last
year where the sensitive component ot investment in
exploration has
endured the most backward where a cooperating variable is
linked to companies that explore have exhausted their
capital reserves, and the weakness ot financia/ markets,
where economic agents linked to mining activity manage
their resources with conservative strategies, (considering
that the cost ot financing has become more expensive) it
has made it difficult to get liquidity in the short term with a
fluctuating environment in price ot majar metals.
Figures of SNL Metals& Mining, confirm the regression ot
the mining investment amounts worldwide indicating that the
investment in mining exploration is talling since 2012 to
2015. Mining and metal industry in Peru concentrates its
efforts on longterm growth by expanding production,
efficiency ot operations and costs. In addition, one should
consider that Latin America remains the main destination far
investment in mining exploration and tour countries (Chile,
Peru, Mexico and Brazil) remain in the top ten and
concentrate more than 80% ot the investment in the region
.
During the past tive years they have been executed mining
investments ot around US $ 42,000 mil/ion, representing
68% of al/ investment executed in mining from January
1996 to December 2015 (US$
60,884 mil/ion). Current investments in mining enable
a higher production
in the future,
thanks to the
implementation ot projects that is beginning ar wi/1 start
operations befare the end ot this management such as "Las
Bambas" (Apurimac), ''Ampliacin Cerro Verde" ( Arequipa),
"Toromocho" (Junin), "Antapaccay" and "Constancia" (Cusca),
among others; with which it plans to double the average
annual production (1.2 mil/ion TMF ot copper).

In December 2015, the mining and hydrocarbons

sector increased by 22.36% registering a record
growth since June 2002 which was 24.98%
due to the increased extraction ot copper
(68%), iron (40%), mo!ybdenum (22% ), si/ver
(19%) and lead (14%), made by companies Cerro
Verde, Antamina, Hudbay Peru (Constancia),
China/ca (Toromocho), Buenaventura, El Brocal,
Volean, Ares, Raura and the contribution ot Minera
Las Bambas far start ot operations. This result
was a/so contributed by the standardization ot
activities in Shougang Hierro Peru; while zinc
production decreased (2.01%), gold (
7. 77%), tin (23. 17%), crude ol (11.45%) and
natural gas liquids (4.81%).
In 2015, the mining and hydrocarbons sector grew by
9.27% being the highest annual rate since 2005,
due to the positive performance ot the metal
mining sector (15. 5%); while hydrocarbon
production decreased by
11.47%.

The national production in 2015, closed with a growth ot

3. 33%, a rate which exceeds that recorded in
2014 which was 2.35%. This result was driven by
the increase in primary activities by 7.37% and
services by 4.89%; while processing activities
decreased by 3.07%. In growth ot 2015, primarily
attects prvate consumption increased by 3.4%
and government consumption by 5.8%; while
investment declined by 6.6%.

The National lnstitute ot Statistics

and
lntormatics reported that the total exports ot
goods decreased by
2. 1% compared to 2014; dueto lower shipments
ot non traditional (4. 1%).
In contrast,
traditional products showed a s!ight positive
variation ot O. 1%. On the other hand, the total
import volume tell by 2.8% due to the
contraction in purchases ot capital goods and
construction materials(7. 7%) and was offset
by the increase in consumer
goods (O. 3%)
and raw materials and intermediate goods
(1. 7%).
The annual average index ot FOB export prices and
import decreased
by
11.7% and
7.3%,

The talling prices ot traditional
products was mainly due to the tal! in prices ot
our main commodities, such as minerals, fish

Esto forma parte de un cambio cualitativo del

general del pas. La minera alienta ade ms
inversiones

levanta
infraestructura industrial, habilita accesos y
despliega redes de co municacin.
La minera peruana ha logrado su madurez, el

MINERA PERUANA I

PERU 2015: ANUARIO MINERO

PERUVIAN
MINING
Peru is a country that has experienced over recent
years a sustained economic growth, a result of the
strengthening of democracy and its institutions, as we/1
as the etforts ot its people. Today we continue to lead
regional growth, even despite the turbulence of the
global economy
This is part of a qualitative change in the country, which
establishes one of its bases in mining production. Mining
is not an activity of short duration, it is a complex,
planned and cross activity; which generales demand and
encourages in this way the productivity of other sectors,
increasing
overa!! competitiveness. Mining
a/so
encourages millionaire investments, raises industrial
infrastructure,
enables
access
and
deploys
communication networks.
Peruvian mining has achieved maturity, Peru has ceased
to be a country with mining potential to become a
mining country ot first arder and we are just taking
advantage of our opportunities and competitive
advantages.
In zinc, lead and gold production we are the first in Latin
America and we are among the best in the world; in
si/ver and copper we are the second in the region
and we dispute that position worldwide; in other
minerals we remain in extreme/y high positions in
international rankings, so we must strengthen the idea
that the situation in which is mining in Peru is salid and is
not going to tal! any moment, a!though it is possible
that the value of our exports fluctuate depending on
market dynamics.
Our efforts should be directed to strategic longterm
perspective, make this new mining becomes a lever to
make the leap to indus trial development, which is and
must remain our north as a country, our national goal. The
ability of mining to pul/, to push other sectors in growth
dynamics, to bridge the gaps that divide us, to lift out of
poverty to those who have less and build a country where
everyone has the same opportunities to get ahead .
Using as leverage the new mining this is possible,
because most of the mining projects in Peru projects are
carried out in incredibly inhospitable places where it is
necessary to raise camps, carrying heavy machinery,
moving hightech equipment and inputs; it should a/so
have energy, dams and access, whether these are ports,
runways ar highways ar railways.
lt a/so requires skilled and much of it high/y skilled
workforce, which a/so involves basic services far
themselves and their families,
supplies, health
facilities and of course schools.
lt is essential
to associate
mining with
development and transformation,
with progress
and welfare.
The new mining consolidates our
present,
today it provides direct and indirect
employment to nearly 2 mil/ion people, which means
that if we add to this figure the people who depend on
these workers, then,
a third of our popu!ation finds its daily sustenance in this
important sector.
Similar/y, it generales resources far the country
with export earnings that remain above 20 billion
dollars. But above al!, the new mining builds our
present, so each year our project portfolio is increased
ata rate of 35 percent reaching today a total of almost
56
billion
dollars.

Thus, Peru has a salid package of guarantees and incentives far prvate investment, so that those interested in doing busi ness
in our country, teel sate and at home, we a/so ask them to carry out their activities with social responsibility and
environmental care.
Responsible mining has become the lever of our development together with prvate investment which is one of the key varia bles
of this growth, but the other mining, that of shadows must be eradicated.
MINING CADASTRE
The entity responsible far granting mining concession tilles in Peru, administering the national mining cadastre and payments
made by the mining holders to keep their existing mining rights is the Geological Mining and Metallurgical
lnstitute
!NGEMMET, autonomous public entity and transparent that
ensures proper administration and granting of mining rights based on the rigorous application of the standards and technical
requirements in torce.
According to statistics from the MEM, to December 2015, there are 43 thousand 603 existing mining rights, with extensions
together represent 18.2 mil/ion hectares (14.2% of the country). lndeed, the proceeds from the Term and Penalty Right
correspond to the payment of the mining concessions that occupy 14.2%.
Of the total existing mining rights they are entitled 36. 146 representing 15.20 mil/ion hectares; a/so, there are 7,457
mining concession applications pending which represent 2.99 mil/ion hectares, of which 7,446 have been requested under the
protection of the law in force and the remaining 11 according to earlier standards to D.L. No. 708.
However, it should be noted that only 1.22% of Peruvian territory is eftective!y mining (exploitation, exploration, construction,
etc.). Meanwhile, there is a 64.95% (83.5 hectares) of national area restricted to mining far encompassing natural areas,
archaeo/ogical siles, national defense areas, urban areas, among others.

authorization by the use of surface ground via a fair
agreement between the parties involved.
As far the demands that arise today in Peru far mining,
it is not enough to obtain the mining concession title,
but it is further necessary to approve environmental
studies far the exploration, exploitation ar processing
of minerals, among others.
MINING
STRATA
In Peru, the Peruvian mining holders are grouped into
three main categories ar strata: the general scheme
which brings together the large and medium sea/e
mining; sma/1scale mining and artisanal mining.
Largescale mining operations include
prospecting, prospecting,
exploration,
development, extraction, concentration,
smelting, refining and shipping. lt is
characterized by being highly mechanized and
operates worldwide class deposits main!y open.

The mining concession is a different right, separate and independent of the rights to the property where it is located,
that is, does not grant surface rights; therefore, to make any kind of mining activity it sha/1 be previously required to have

Mediumscale mining groups around 100 companies

operating mainly underground mining units. This
sector, although it is characterized by a considerable
degree of mechanization and adequate infrastructure,
limits its operations to the extraction and concentration of
minerals, so that the smelting and refining are mainly in
charge of large mining companies.
Additionally in the Peruvian mining companies we find
sma/1 mining companies mainly dedicated to underground
gold mining activity, a/luvia! and extraction and processing
of nonmetallic minerals.
Until December 2015, the MEM has recorded a total of
10,200 mining titleholders,
of which 2,093
belong
referential/y to sma/1scale mining;
6, 946 to artisanal mining and 1, 161 to the large and medium
sea/e mining.
SMALL-SCALE
MINING
In Peru, the holders of mining rights to be considered
within the range of Sma/1Scale Mining (Sma/1 Mining and
Artisanal Mining}, must comply with the conditions set out
in Article 91 of the TUO of the General Mining Law
approved by S.D. No. 01492EM,
as amended by
Legislative Decree No. 1040 (Art. 3rd).
To access the benefits provided by Law No. 27651
Law on Formalization and Promotion of Sma/1 and Artisanal
Mining and its Regulations approved by S.D. No. 0132002EM, the mining titleholders must prove their status
of Sma/1 Producer Mining (SPM) and Artisanal Mining
Producer (AMP).
In December 2015, at the regional leve! we have a total
of 290 titleholders of which 242 are classified as SPM and
48 as AMP, to meet the requirement set forth in Art. 9
(section 9.5) of Legislative Decree No. 1100, and Art. 5
(paragraph e) and Art. 12 (paragraph h) of S.D. No. 0132002EM (as amended by Supreme Decree No.
0432012EM}, consisting of having "Reso/ution Authorization
to start
and/or restart mining exploration ar exploitation activities
issued by the competent authority prior technical report ar
favorable opinion of the Ministry of Energy and Mines ".
The qualification certificates of SPM and AMP issued by the
General Directorate of Mining Formalization GDFM are va/id
far two years, provided that the mining titleholder does
not incur in grounds far automatic loss established in
current regu/ations. These records can be continuously
renewed as long as they meet the conditions and
requirements established by current legislation.
MINING
CONTRACTORS
Mining contractor companies are specialized companies that
provide exploration, development, mining exploitation and
profit after a legal assessment of compliance with the
requirements established by the S.D. 0052008EM, as
amended by SD 0132010EM. They are currently listed in

PERUANA

INTERNSHIP MINING PROGRAM DIRECTED

TO LEADERS OF POPULATED CENTERS AND
COMMUNIT/ES LINKED TO MINING ACTIVITY
The overa// objective of the program is to
strengthen the capacities
of leaders and
authorities
representing the communities
related
to mining
activity, in arder to
implement management plans and to
promote sustainable development of their
communities. An importan! componen! of this
strengthening is to equip them with the tools to
replicate this experience in their respective
communities. These community leaders have
recognized social legitimacy in the areas of
influence of projects and mining units and
have experience in participation in spaces far
dialogue, concertation ar negotiation.
Since 2011 to December 2015 within that
program have been developed 31 mining
internships,
training 846 leaders and
representative authorities
from
different
population centers, rural communities and
villages of
19 regions
(Amazonas, Ancash, Apurimac,
Arequipa,
Ayacucho, Cajamarca, Cusca,
Huancavelica,
Hunuco, lea, Junn, La Libertad, Lambayeque,
Lima, Moquegua, Paseo, Piura, Puno and Tacna).
These positive results of the lnternship Mining
Program have been replicated in the execution
of 365 replicas of mining internships between
2012 to February 2016, making a total of more
than 2,919 participants trained between
internships and replicas.
Mining internships were developed in the
Yanacoto Training Center, of the MEM, located in
the district of Lurigancho, Chosica and began
with the transfer of participants from their
hometowns to said training center. Each
mining internship /asted fifteen days and far
the proper development of academic and
extracurricular
activities, the trainees were
provided a grooming kit, an educational kit, a kit
of sports material and a permanent
medica/
health care service.
The training
was conducted by prestigious
universities such as ESAN University and the
Pontificia Universi dad Catlica del Peru, it
began with Module /: Development
of
Personal Ski/Is and Module //: Knowledge
of Mining Activity; both modules lasting
14 academic hours each, continued with
Module ///: Legal Standards related to Mining
Subsector
and the Environment with 27
academic hours and ended with Module IV of
Mining, Environment and Social aspects and
Module
V of Mining
and Project
Development

which hada duration of 24 academic hours

each, making a total of 103 academic hours.
In addition to training, extracurricular
activities were developed such as a sport and
recreational
activity which
promoted
spaces suitable far sport and healthy
recreation, as we/1 as integration and
brotherhood
between interns and MEM
officers; a cultural visit to the Historie
Center of Lima, museums ar other and a
technical visit to severa/ nearby mining units
to Lima in arder to learn in situ the operational
processes of a mining unit.
Mining internship ended with a closing
ceremony in which were handed over the
medals, diplomas, trophies and awards to the
participants anda dinner buffet was shared
and the presentation of an artistic show
with dances from the regions of the
participants.
Far the Ministry of Energy and Mines is
very importan! to the development of this
program in arder that the population
that is very e/ose to mining projects
can be more informed
about what
constitutes
a mining project in its
different stages and with this knowledge
have stronger evidence, in arder to make
correct decisions on the development of
mining activity and the impact of their
communities.
PRODUCTION
AND EXPLORATION
UNITS
Mining in Peru has a valuable role in the
process of integration of the most remate
villages of our country, as it has always
been characterized
as a promoter
of
development. Today mining is carried out in
23 of the 25 regions of Peru and has taken
up the challenge of being the promoter
agent of the production decentralization
process that requires the country to
e/ose the social and economic gaps.
In December 2015, there have been 1,012
units that have been reported in situation
of exploration ar mining production, a/so
these areas only reach
1'566,597 hectares. In conclusion,
only
1.22% of the national territory of Peru has
been authorized to
exercise
mining
activity, existing 13% of the concession
area to be explored and/or explode, which
is a huge potential.
