📋 Tender Overview
He urges to continue participating and collaborating with the dialogue to modernize the regulatory framework for small artisanal mining and mining.The Ministry of Energy and Mines (Minem), through the Vice Ministry of Mines, sent an office to Angela Grossheim Barrientos, executive director of the National Mining, Petroleum and Energy Society (SNMPE), in reference to the technical meetings sustained with representatives of this institution on April 24 and 30 of this year in the approach of the initiatives by a new law of the small mining and artisan mining.
In Office No0054-2025-Minem/Vmm, signed by the Deputy Minister of Mines, Henry Luna Cordova, the Minem expresses that at no time have ideas, comments or interpretations outside the formal records obtained in meetings held with the SNMPE have no time.
And it states that all systematized information comes from three verifiable documentary sources: the recordings, transcripts and official documents, the latter (presentations in PowerPoint), delivered by the SNMPE itself.
The Minem urges to continue the initial attitude of participation and collaboration with the openness and transparency with which this dialogue was convened ... We invoke the SNMPE to resume the route of constructive participation to obtain the best possible result in this process, says the writing.
The document recalls that, in April of this year, the Minem developed a dialogue space called Cycle of Discussions for Contributions to the Draft Law of Little Artisanal Mining and Mining, convening the small -scale mining unions, the Academy, Civil Society and the SNMPE.
To support this work, the MINEM convened the Mining and Sustainable Development Dialogue Group (GDMDS), composed of outstanding professionals, with the purpose of guaranteeing neutrality and promoting the plural and informed deliberation in the meetings held on April 24 and 30 with representatives of the SNMPE.
Both meetings were recorded, transcribed and documented, and had institutional presentations delivered by the SNMPE, as well as with the technical interventions of several of their representatives, says the document.
Based on these inputs, the consultant Gabriel Arriaran, who previously served as technical secretary of the GDMDS, prepared a technical report, which collected the union positions, including the observations, reservations, consensus and dissent documented by the SNMPE.
Despite this, on May 22, the SNMPE through a letter expressed its disagreement with some of the contents of the report and the way its position had been represented.
In this regard, the Minem considers that, in the trade sent by the SNMPE, there are contradictions, omissions and obvious aggregations between what was said in the SNMPE letter and what is expressed by its representatives in the technical meetings.
As an example of what has expressed, he points out that, during the meeting of April 30, a representative of the SNMPE indicated textually: The purchase liquidation can be a bridge for whom it is started to formalize. It has to be connected to the traceability system, with stops and alerts. This statement contrasts with the position of the statement, which denies having considered that figure as valid in any scenario.
Likewise, the MINEM states that the representatives of the SNMPE, actively participated, raising proposals, expressing doubts and showed diverse points of view on various topics discussed.
The internal dynamics of his delegation showed consensus in some aspects and dissent in others, as occurs in any complex technical group, is indicated in the trade sent to the SNMPE.
The Minem reported the participation of Ingemmet, an entity attached to its sector, providing technical information. He also stressed that the Executive Power presented the bill of small artisanal mining and mining, in response to Law 31388.
The Minem reaffirms its commitment to technical dialogue and the search for broad consensus. The new law of small artisanal mining and mining will be the result of a participatory and inclusive process, concludes the Minem.
