📋 Tender Overview
BGR of Germany begins training in the use of drones for environmental surveillance in the mining sector with participants from Ecuador, Chile and PeruWithin the framework of the inter-institutional cooperation agreement between the Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM) and the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources of Germany (BGR) signed in 2021, the International in-person training on the use and management of the Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) for environmental surveillance in the mining sector began with 47 participants from Chile, Ecuador and Peru.
The agreement contemplates the strengthening of the management of mining environmental liabilities and mine closure plans, with the aim of contributing to the sustainable development of national mining and achieving the objectives of the Multiannual Strategic Plan for Mining Environmental Liabilities, said the Deputy Minister of Mines, Henry Luna Cordova, when inaugurating the training.
He noted that Peru has a close working relationship with German cooperation that dates back many decades in geological research of our territory, environmental legislation and identification of Perus mining potential in coordination with the Geological, Mining and Metallurgical Institute (INGEMMET) and the MINEM.
As a result of this research, we have improved our legislation and important deposits have been identified at a national level, some of which are in the mining investment portfolio, said Vice Minister Luna.
The training in the office will last 3 days in the MINEM auditorium and 2 days of field training in the former mining units of Cata and Pacific Alliance 45, located in the district of Coayllo, province of Canete (Lima). Professionals from the Geological Energy Research Institute (IIGE) of Ecuador, the National Geology and Mines Service (Sernageomin) of Chile, INGEMMET and the MINEM will participate.
We are sure that RPAS technology will help with the management of mining environmental liabilities, especially in inaccessible areas that make the line of sight difficult, generating possible risks for field professionals, said Luna Cordova, while thanking BGR for its commitment to the development of the course.
It should be noted that the conferences will be given by the Regional Cooperation for the Sustainable Management of Mining Resources in the Andean Countries (MinSus-BGR), the Post-Mining Research and Development Center (FEZB) and the Peruvian environmental consultancy Geomatic.
