Peru Extends Mining Formalization Registry to 2026 With New Oversight Deadlines

The law shifts the process toward tighter verification with deadlines that prepare a transition to a new small‑scale mining regime.

Overview

  • Law No. 32537 extends the Reinfo process until December 31, 2026 or until the MAPE law and its regulation take effect, whichever occurs first.
  • The Ministry of Energy and Mines has 60 days to adapt Reinfo regulations by supreme decree and assumes the lead role in the process.
  • Regional governments must transfer all physical and digital Reinfo files to Minem within 60 days under functional responsibility for noncompliance.
  • All registrants have 120 days to submit the real, georeferenced location of operations via the Ventanilla Única for technical validation by Minem.
  • An INEI-led national census of small-scale and artisanal mining must start within six months and conclude within twelve, and Sunafil has 60 days to set payroll verification rules.
