en.Wedoany.com Reported - Regenerative mining, as a new concept for transforming the extractive industry, will be a central theme of the 2026 Copper Expo, scheduled to be held from April 27 to 29, 2026, at the Jockey Club Convention Center. The event aims to reshape mining into a development engine that extends beyond the lifespan of a mine.

Despite advanced technologies, mining in Latin America—including in Peru, Chile, and Mexico—faces structural constraints such as social distrust, regulatory complexity, and territorial conflicts, hindering new investment flows. Nelson Trejo, President of the Parts and Services division for Epiroc in the Americas, will deliver a keynote speech on this issue, emphasizing: "The industry must evolve to survive and thrive."

Trejo pointed out: "We need to redefine from a financial perspective how to evaluate the social and territorial impacts of mining. Regenerative mining aims to manage risk differently and accelerate unique development opportunities in Latin America." He specifically noted that Peru has the conditions to become a laboratory for regenerative mining: "Its mining tradition, technical capability, and strategic importance in copper production make it critical for testing new models of mining development."

Peru's combination of mining tradition and high technology plays a pivotal role in global copper production, a metal indispensable for the energy transition. Trejo invited industry dialogue to collaboratively create new paradigms that restore social legitimacy, attract capital, and accelerate project progress.

The 2026 Copper Expo will bring together investors, communities, and regulators to foster open dialogue. Trejo concluded: "The goal is clear: to restore social legitimacy and attract new capital through new paradigms, ensuring that the wealth generated is transformed into lasting well-being for the region." This expo is a landmark gathering for the Latin American copper industry, discussing trends that will shape the future of global mining.
