📋 Tender Overview
In the fourth meeting of the Technical Table for the formalization of mining, members agreed to submit proposals to agree on a bill for artisanal and small -scale miningThe president of the Council of Ministers, Eduardo Arana, reported that the Ministry of Energy and Mines (Minem) will issue a directorial resolution to clarify that the 90 -day period established so that the miners manage the authorization of the National Superintendence of Security Services Control, weapons, ammunition and explosives for civil use (SUCAMEC) is not yet in force.
After completing the fourth meeting of the Technical Table for the formalization of mining, the head of the Ministerial Cabinet explained that said provision, contained in the third complementary provision of the Supreme Decree No. 009-2025-EM, cannot yet be applied, since the established prerequisite, which consists in the delivery of the documentary collection by the regional directorates of energy and mines, has not yet been fulfilled.
There is consensus that it is not appropriate to repeal the norm, although it is necessary to explain it. Therefore, it has been agreed that the Ministry of Energy and Mines will have a norm of lower hierarchy that clarifies the scope of the provision in question, said the head of the PCM.
The work day was attended by the Minister of Energy and Mines, Jorge Montero; the Ombudsman, Josue Gutierrez; the congressmen Diana Gonzales, Paul Gutierrez and Raul Doroteo; the president of the National Society of Mining, Petroleum and Energy (SNMPE), Julia Torreblanca; and the presidents of the National Confederation of Small Mining and Artisanal Mining of Peru (Confemin), Maximo Franco, and the National Federation of Small Mining Producers and Artisanal Miners of Peru (Fenamarpe), Celso Cajachagua.
Vice ministers of territorial governance of the PCM also participated; of mines, of the Ministry of Energy and Mines; of internal order, of the Ministry of Interior; and work, of the Ministry of Labor and Employment Promotion. He also attended the high commissioner for the fight of illegal mining, together with representatives of the Ministry of Environment, the Public Ministry, the Institute of Mining Engineers of Peru and the Regional Government of Arequipa.
In statements to the press, the Premier Arana urged the mining unions to carefully review the explanatory norm issued by the MINEM and the corresponding statement, which will guarantee the undue non -application of the term and will give greater legal tranquility.
We are not going to go back in the fight against illegal mining. The interdictions continue. We are not going to repeal the rules dictated by the Executive. We will dedicate all our efforts to propose a clear, transparent norm and allow formal mining to operate for many years, he said.
Consensus achieved
The head of the PCM stressed that in this fourth session important consensus were reached around the accompaniment to mining in the process of formalization; the improvement of the working conditions of the miners and their families; and the presentation of proposals aimed at agreeing on a bill for artisanal and small -scale mining.
It was agreed that the Minem will prepare a base project that will be enriched with the contributions of the guilds present. Once these proposals are collected, other actors such as the Prosecutors Office, the Judiciary, the Ombudsmans Office and the congressmen will be able to contribute to that text. We hope that this project receives an adequate reception in the next Energy and Mines Commission of the Congress of the Republic, he said.
