Ministers Jorge Montero (Energy-Mines) and Jose Salardi (Economy-Finance) on Tuesday led the Peruvian delegation invited to ring the opening bell at the Toronto Stock Exchange, within the framework of the PDAC 2025 global mining convention taking place in Canada.

In various meetings, representatives of mining companies participating in PDAC 2025 expressed their interest in continuing to invest in Peru, both in exploration projects and in the expansion of their operations, with the aim of making a positive impact on the country's economy.

They emphasized that Peru is a geologically-attractive destination for mining exploration investments, adding that it is important for the public and the private sectors to continue working in a coordinated manner at all levels of government to attract more investments.

It is worth noting that the PDAC 2025 global mining convention saw a record participation of investors and Peruvian mining companies, with around 350 industry representatives discussing key issues to facilitate swift and effective mining investments in the South American country.

The Peruvian delegation included Deputy Mines Minister Henry Luna; the Chief of Staff at the Presidency of the Council of Ministers (PCM) Aldo Prieto; officials from the Ministry of Energy and Mines (Minem) and the State-run Private Investment Promotion Agency (ProInversion), as well as investors, mining entrepreneurs, government officials, and representatives from mining sector institutions.

In the long term, Peru's presence at PDAC is projected as a key platform to strengthen its global leadership in mining, attract greater investment, and promote the development of a mining industry that is sustainable, innovative, and committed to the well-being of communities and the environment.
