en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Chilean Mining Industry Suppliers Association (APRIMIN) actively promoted bilateral cooperation between Chile and Peru at ExpoCobre 2026, focusing on mining supplier development and new business opportunities. As an official sponsor, the association set up an independent booth and participated in multiple discussions aimed at enhancing the presence of Chilean suppliers in international markets, particularly in countries with high investment potential such as Peru.

A highlight of the event was the first international networking event organized by APRIMIN, bringing together industry leaders. APRIMIN General Manager Paula Frigerio stated: "The goal of the meeting is to strengthen the value proposition of mining in Chile and Peru, and to promote regional integration." The meeting explored opportunities in the Peruvian market, a country with 65 mining projects, total investments of nearly US$63 billion, the world's second-largest copper reserves, and over 7,800 supplier companies. Key strategic projects include Tía María (US$1.8 billion), the Antamina mine renewal, and the Ferrobamba mine renewal, projects that play a critical role in copper supply and offer direct participation opportunities for suppliers.

Both sides also discussed common challenges, such as project approval processes and investment attractiveness, emphasizing the optimization of approvals through digitalization and the establishment of a stable regulatory framework to ensure long-term investment. APRIMIN representatives Macarena Vallejo and Dominique Viera participated in discussions on workforce challenges and supplier and women's leadership, respectively, highlighting the importance of supply chain collaboration.
