Peru: Gold, copper projects lead this year’s mining exploration portfolio

The Ministry of Energy and Mines (Minem) on Tuesday reported that, according to the 2022 Portfolio of Mining Exploration Projects, there are 23 gold projects nationwide —thus ranking first in the portfolio— which together add up to an investment of US$254 million and account for 43.4% of the nationwide exploration budget.

Minem states that exploration is essential for the development of mining. Therefore, it is the first link in the most important economic activity in Peru, making it possible to find new deposits and to extend the useful life of the mines that are currently in operation, which expands the attraction of domestic and foreign investment in favor of the country.

It should be noted that copper is the main metal exported by Peru and one of the largest revenue generators for the national exchequer.

Peru’s strong economic rebound will support recovery of hard-hit sectors during 2021

Corporate credit quality will recover gradually in Peru in 2021 as pent-up demand revives activity following the short but big economic hit from the coronavirus pandemic in mid-2020. In a new report, Moody’s Investors Service says Peru’s healthy economic fundamentals point to a strong post-pandemic rebound of around 8% economic growth in 2021, well above expectations for the rest of Latin America.

Peru’s mining sector faced operational disruptions for at least a couple of months, but with most operations being resumed by July, a rebound will be quick. Large mining projects will continue to develop through 2021. Most mining companies were fully operational by July 2020, rebounding from tough operating conditions during the state of emergency, with mining limited to critical activities using a minimal workforce from mid-March through late June. Companies used this downtime to prepare for appropriate safety and security measures upon reopening.
