📋 Tender Overview
It is made up of 84 projects distributed in 17 departments of the country. As Minister Jorge Montero Cornejo had anticipated at the World Mining Exploration 2025 Convention, held in Canada, the Ministry of Energy and Mines (Minem), presents the new edition of the Portfolio of Mining Exploration Projects 2025 (CPEM 2025), consisting of 84 projects distributed in 17 departments, and that will allow generating a joint investment of US $ 1039.2 million.
The General Directorate of Mining Promotion and Sustainability (DGPSM), responsible for the document, indicates that the exploration phase is erected as a fundamental pillar for the progress of mining activity; It facilitates the attraction of considerable investments, both national and foreign and contributes to the discovery of new mining deposits, for the beginning of a new operation or prolonging the useful life of existing mining units.
In that line, the new CPEM 2025 records a greater number of projects compared to CPEM 2024, which reflects significant improvements, both in the number of projects (+9 projects) and in total investment (+US $ 395 million), demonstrating a new cycle of mining explorations in our territory.
The changes registered in the current portfolio allowed the increase of +61.3% in the global investment, which is based on the incorporation of 33 new projects (US $ 591.5 million), the upward investment adjustment of 4 projects and the presentation of 6 new environmental management instruments (IGA) to the General Directorate of Mining Environmental Affairs (DGAAM) that were already in the CPEM 2024.
The new CPEM 2025 addresses the normative and technological improvements for mining exploration activities, with the aim of providing the mining investor for the permits and authorizations necessary quickly and transparently.
Likewise, it analyzes the main characteristics of the CPEM 2025 projects, such as the project progress, project location, mineral to explore, type of exploration and country of origin of the main investor having as a central axis of comparison to the mining investment of the exploration portfolio
Finally, CPEM 2025 presents detailed information of the 84 projects through technical chips. Among the characteristics that compose it are: mining holder, shareholders, geographical location, project investment, type of exploration, main data and the current situation of each mining project.
With this publication, the MINEM reaffirms its commitment to continue promoting mining investment under the principles of sustainability and social responsibility.
