The Peruvian Institute of Mining Engineers (IIMP) is organizing this year the 12th International Congress of Prospectors and Explorers - proEXPLO 2021.

In this edition, the 1st Exploration Projects Fair will be launched as a new platform for commercial relations between small mining investors and large mining companies or investment funds interested in expanding their portfolios.

To date, the participation of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, United States, Australia, Canada, Ecuador, France, United Kingdom and United States has been confirmed.

Likewise, the organizers have developed a virtual platform where mining companies and suppliers will be able to have a space and thus reach out to visitors and participants from Peru and abroad.

Newmont, Hudbay Minerals, Antamina, Panamerican Silver, Nexa Resources Peru, First Quantum Minerals, Gold Fields, Rio2 Limited, Southern Peru and Aruntani have already confirmed their participation.

The Ministry of Energy and Mines, Osignermin, and companies such as Boart Longyear, Rock Drilling, CALQUIPA (Calidra), Explomin del Perú, Core Tech, Redrilsa, among other important companies in the mining sector, will also have booths.

"The proEXPLO 2021 fair is different from the others because it is customized with the designs that the clients themselves have requested," detailed the organizers.

In that sense, interested companies can visit the demo that has been prepared and learn more details of the fair area; to do so, they only have to visit here.

On the other hand, due to the pandemic, proEXPLO 2021 will be held virtually from March 22 to 26 and will bring together important representatives from academia, industry and mining investors.

Also, according to the organizers, proEXPLO 2021 is expected to attract more than 4,000 national and international participants.
