📋 Tender Overview
Our country has great comparative advantages, with strategic ports, solid industry and potential reserves. The Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM) reports that Peru remains one of the worlds leading producers of copper and other metals, and that it has prospects for continuing to climb the global ranking due to the comparative advantages it offers over other countries.
The governing body of the mining-energy sector, through the General Directorate of Mining Promotion and Sustainability (DGPM), notes that Peru has approximately 100 million metric tons of copper reserves, which are extracted with more advanced technologies, making it more attractive to the global market.
In addition, Peru offers a more solid and predictable legal framework, and has strategic ports on the Pacific, which facilitates the export of copper to key markets such as China, unlike other countries with logistical limitations due to their landlocked location and poor infrastructure.
The MINEM points out that Peru is the worlds third largest copper producer, according to the latest edition of the Mineral Commodity Summary 2025, while the Democratic Republic of the Congo climbed to second place due to the exponential growth in its copper production levels supported mainly by its Kamoa-Kakula mine.
Given this, Peru can improve its figures and advance in the global ranking by advancing the procedures of important early-stage projects, such as La Granja, Michiquillay, Cotabambas, Haquira, among others, which would contribute to the recovery of the second position in the world production ranking.
The MINEM considers that the production ranking is always variable, but Perus strength is the solidity of its mining industry, which guarantees the relevance of our country in the global market; and to maintain this advantage, it is key to improve political stability, reduce bureaucratic obstacles and encourage new investments.
It should be noted that our country is experiencing a phase of replacement of main mines, cases such as Pampacancha de Constancia, Antamina Replacement, Chalcobamba and Ferrobamba Replacement in Las Bambas mine, Colquijirca Replacement, Cerro Verde, among others, which will allow extending the life of mining units.
Peru is a mining country par excellence, not only for its production, but because it has a highly qualified workforce, an ecosystem of specialized suppliers and a commitment to sustainability and social responsibility.
