Peru Mining 2014

October 16, 2014

The Peruvian government has outlined an ambitious $60 billion portfolio of mining projects, and the country’s geological richness and business-friendly environment will help it deliver, but it remains to be seen if it can continue to attract investment in the down market. Investment in the country’s mining industry was a record-breaking $9.5 billion in 2013, but Peru will need more projects after 2016 to keep up the pace. Several proposed projects are uncertain at the moment. GBR’s Spanish-language report examines the state of the Peruvian mining industry and offer fresh insights into the government and mining industry’s strategies for the medium- and long-term.

It is said that mining is a patient industry. Current demand projections are not. Demand for minerals deemed ‘critical’ is set to increase almost fourfold by 2030, according to the UN. Demand for nickel, cobalt and lithium is predicted to double, triple and rise ten-fold, respectively, between 2022 and 2050. The world will need to mine more copper between 2018 and 2050 than it has mined throughout history. 2050 is also the deadline to curb emissions before reaching a point of ‘no return.’ The pace of mineral demand and the consequences of not meeting it force the industry to act fast and take more risks. Mining cannot afford to be a patient industry anymore. The scramble for supply drives miners back to geological credentials, and therefore to places like the African Central Copperbelt.
