Peru's Economy and Finance Minister Carlos Oliva confirmed the mining project known as Mina Justa (Ica region) will be officially launched in the coming days.

"The (corresponding) investment is worth over US$1 billion," the official expressed. 

According to Oliva, this project is part of a series of reactivations within the mining sector. Said actions will help boost private investments in the next three or four years. 

"Less than a month ago, Quellaveco mining project, with investments worth over US$5 billion, started operations in Moquegua (region)," the minister underlined. 

As is known, mining investment in Peru amounted to US$2.355 billion, thus increasing 29.1% between January and July 2018 over the same period last year, the Energy and Mines Ministry (MEM) informed Thursday.
