After spending two weeks in Peru visiting local mining operations, attending PERUMIN 36, networking with local suppliers and gaining first-hand market insights, Mipac’s Sales and Marketing Manager Steven Cohen said it’s a country he’d definitely go back to.

And that’s despite his trip being fraught with travel delays (it took him 50 hours to get back to Brisbane from Lima!), altitude challenges and language barriers.

What stood out to him most about his visit – as part of Austmine’s International Mining Mission to the country – was how welcoming and interested the local mining companies were.

“They all had a real learning mindset,” he mused. “They were interested in what other mining operations were doing and what the industry trends were. The level of openness and curiosity of the Peruvian mining community was really positive and refreshing.”

It was a trip that took him and the other ten attendees from Arequipa to Lima, stopping at Freeport McMoRan’s Cerro Verde Operations, various mining companies in Arequipa and Lima, the Peru Mining Innovation Hub and Antamina Mine. For two of the days, even the Australian Ambassador participated.

“It was great to have that level of government support,” Steven said.

Peru is one of Latin America’s fastest-growing economies, boasting rich deposits of minerals including copper, gold, silver, lead, zinc, natural gas and petroleum. As a dominant sector of the Peruvian economy, the mining industry accounts for 8.5% of the nation’s GDP and 63.9% of exports.

This makes the nation a key player in the move toward the clean energy transition.

For Mipac, Peru has always been an important region.

“Our history with Peru goes back at least a decade,” says Steven. “The country is a leading mining economy, and one in which we’ve been working for a long time. In fact, we’re currently working there as part of Anglo American’s Quellaveco “Mine of the Future” project.

“This trip was a great opportunity to better understand this market, its accessibility and its attractiveness.”
