PERUMIN 37

PERUMIN 37, which takes place between September 22-26, came at a decisive moment for Peru. Since the last gathering, Peru has faced a number of issues. The Peruvian Institute of Mining Engineers states that mining, as Peru’s leading industry, cannot remain silent. It must step forward to lead open, transparent debates and implement concrete actions that benefit all Peruvians. The Mining Summit at PERUMIN Convención Minera gathered distinguished national and international leaders to discuss challenges, share experiences, and identify opportunities to drive sustainable growth.
