Infrastructure
In this regard, Minem detailed that the Infrastructure category was the main component of mining investments, totaling US$1.101 billion as of October 2025.
It was followed by Processing Plant (US$873 million) and Mining Equipment (US$800 million) categories.
This pattern reflects a growing focus on strengthening productive assets and improving the sector's operational efficiency.
Regionally, Moquegua, Arequipa, Apurimac, and Ica accounted for nearly half (48%) of national mining investment from January to October 2025.
This highlights the expansion of strategic projects in Peru's southern area, as well as their contribution to regional economic development through job creation, infrastructure improvement, and increased productive activity.
