After the success of the First Congress on Mining Competitiveness and Social Sustainability, the Peruvian Institute of Mining Engineers (IIMP) is now organizing the 12th International Congress of Prospectors and Explorers - proEXPLO 2021.

To date, people and companies have shown great interest in this new edition, which will be held from March 22nd to 26th, 2021, online.

Moreover, the interest of participants comes in a context where Peru has been showing great potential in terms of copper, gold, silver, zinc and other metal deposits in demand in the international market.

“We welcome national and foreign mining speakers and investors, industry professionals and students. We are confident that proEXPLO 2021 will meet the expectations of those who will join us in this first virtual edition of the International Congress of Prospectors and Explorers,” highlighted the President of proEXPLO 2021, Enrique Garay.

Pending Taskss

On the other hand, although authorities have shown interest in promoting mining exploration activities and optimizing administrative procedures, there are pending issues such as improving relations between companies and communities to allow smooth development of mining projects and reduce conflict around mining activity.

Under this vision, the proExplo 2021 organizers have chosen "Mineral Resources for a Sustainable Future" as the slogan for this new edition, with the aim of continuing to strengthen the bonds between academia, industry and mining investors, seeking to reinforce the development of mining exploration in an environmentally clean context.
