or more than 5,000 miners gathered to know the progress of the formalization process.The responsible formalization campaign of the Ministry of Energy and Mines (Minem) arrived in SECOCHA in the province of Camana, the largest mining center in Arequipa. The call had a great reception and brought together more than 5,000 miners, within the framework of the formalization of small mining and artisanal mining.
During the meeting, the general director of Minera Formalization stressed that the National Government, through the Minem, assumed the leadership of the formalization process and called on unity to reach the goal before December 31, 2025. That is our challenge. You and we have to work together to achieve it, he said.
Among the most relevant announcements, he said that a specialized technical commission will be formed for the formalization of the secocha miners, where leaders, local and technical advisors of the General Directorate of Mining Formalization (DGFM) will participate, with the objective of accelerating the review of files, attending consultations and advancing with the collection of necessary documents within the established deadlines.
He also reported that in the next few days a negotiating table between the representatives of the community and the Caraveli mining company will be installed in Lima, with accompaniment of the Minem. This dialogue space will have the purpose of reaching agreements that allow the signing of contracts, a fundamental requirement on the way to formalization.
The commitment of the Ministry and the Government is to help them get December 31 to be formalized. We want a secocha to be an example for the country. SECOCHA is one of the most important mining conglomerates in Peru, therefore, it has to be formalized, emphasized the general director.
Organizations, guilds and the entire production chain of small artisanal miners and miners of the Arequipa community expressed their support for the formalization process and highlighted the technical and legal accompaniment of the specialists of the DGFM, which will allow strengthening its path to legality.
