Perumin 37 Opens in Arequipa With Major Expo, Global Delegations and Policy Forums

The gathering seeks to shape Peru’s mining agenda through high‑level debates on investment and sustainability in a pre‑electoral context.

Overview

  • Organizers say the five‑day convention at Cerro Juli will draw more than 65,000 attendees, with over 1,200 stands across six pavilions and roughly 29,000 m² of exhibition space.
  • EXTEMIN opened with a ribbon‑cutting and an international pavilion featuring delegations from 16 countries, led by a large German contingent showcasing efficiency, automation and low‑carbon solutions.
  • The National Police activated layered security with access controls, perimeter rings, reinforcements from multiple regions, an on‑site station and a large patrol drone for continuous monitoring.
  • Arequipa expects an economic boost of at least S/100 million and about 8,000 temporary jobs, as local authorities enabled a new stretch of Avenida Francisco Mostajo to improve access to the venue.
  • The program features the Cumbre Minera, TIS, and forums on water, energy transition and inclusion with ministers and sector leaders participating, while companies such as Antamina outline sustainability plans including a MEIA‑backed extension to 2036 and investments near US$2 billion.
