or Minister Jorge Montero said that he is being agreed with mining companies about the possibility of working together a technical proposal. The Minister of Energy and Mines, Jorge Montero Cornejo, said that the Cajamarca region could play a very significant role to move the large mining corridor in northern Peru, whose estimated production in 1 million fine metric tons of copper per year would mean a gigantic canon for that region.
The mining corridor of northern Peru was born in Cajamarca and is Cajamarquino. From the Ministry of Energy and Mines (Minem) we are promoting dialogue with the main Mining Cajamarquine companies to address the possibility of working together a technical proposal for the authorities and the population, he said. Montero Cornejo indicated that Cajamarca heads the portfolio of mining projects throughout Peru with an estimated investment amount of US $ 18,000 million.
We are talking about the Yanacocha Sulfides project of Newmont, the MMG Copper Subsidiary Lumina Gynal, Michiquillay de Southern Peru Copper Corporation and the Rio Tinto farm. These four projects could add a production of 1 million fine metric tons of copper a year and take Peru to a total production of 4 million fine metric tons per year, he said.
Along these lines, the head of the Minem said that a solvent, robust and transparent technical proposal is worked, to present it at some point to the elected authorities of Cajamarca and its population, which show numbers and the advantages for the region to go to sustainable development.
Cajamarca has every right to sit and meditate in a technical, strategic and political way on the future of its mineral resources. It is a region endowed with miners of great power and value, he said. Therefore, he invoked the living forces of Cajamarca, the Academy, the industry, the fronts of defense and the peasant rounds, to dialogue and define the type of mining that we want in Cajamarca.
We have been blessed with a rich geological potential. We must think how we value this mineral and, above all, in the hands of responsible companies, who know how to fulfill their social, environmental and labor duties, said Minister Montero.
