METS efficiency and sustainability a focus at PERUMIN 37

The PERUMIN 37 Mining Convention will take place in Arequipa, Peru from 22–26 September 2025.

Austrade is hosting an Australian Pavilion and business program offering networking and connection opportunities between Australian mining equipment, technology and services (METS) firms and the Peruvian mining sector.

Visitor packages to participate in the range of events and networking opportunities in the Austrade business program are still available. Highlights include:

• high-level briefings with executives of key Peruvian mining companies tailored for small groups of Australian Pavilion exhibitors and visitors
• a Peruvian miners guided tour of the Australian Pavilion
• access to the Australia Night networking reception.

In previous years, the Australian Pavilion at PERUMIN has won multiple awards for the best international pavilion. The outcomes and connections generated from this event are unparalleled, helping Australian METS to go further and faster with Austrade assistance in Peru.

About the Peruvian mining industry

Peru is one of Latin America’s best performing mining markets. It offers:

• existing mines in growth mode
• a strong pipeline of new mines under construction
• solid prospects for further growth thanks to the country’s diverse mineral base, foreign investment, low energy and operating costs, and largely under-explored territory.

According to the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines, 51 major mining construction projects worth over US$54 billion are forecast in the country for the next decade. This high level of investment in the Peruvian mining industry increases opportunities for METS exporters across all facets of the industry.

As in Australia, the mining sector in Peru continues to be a key driver of the economy. In recent years and particularly following the Covid-19 pandemic, Peru is evolving into a more sophisticated mining market that seeks to become more efficient and sustainable.

Peru plans to respond to increased minerals demand by unblocking projects and increasing production while maintaining environmental, social and governance standards, including social licence and decarbonisation. Peruvian miners also want to take advantage of the economic opportunity by implementing new technology such as AI and new business models.

Peru and the broader LATAM region have a relationship-based business culture where tradeshows are crucial to grow and position your business in-market. In-person meetings and follow-ups with the right contacts at PERUMIN can allow for deals and proposals to be signed on the spot.

The relationship between Australia and Peru is growing. Peru seeks partnership with Australia to support innovation exchange to build its growing mining sector. Peru-based mining firms are well disposed to Australian innovation, providing Australian METS access to supply chain opportunities.
