en.Wedoany.com Reported - Rubén del Pozo Mendoza, President of the Association of Mining Engineers, Metallurgists and Geologists of Mexico (AIMMGM), announced at a press conference on May 13 that the 2026 Zacatecas International Mining Congress (RIM) will be held from June 24 to 26. This event aims to consolidate the state's position as Mexico's mining leader and promote innovation, employment, and local supply chain development.

Zacatecas currently ranks first in Mexico for silver, zinc, and lead production, and second for gold and copper, while also advancing critical mineral projects such as lithium. These achievements, combined with recently approved exploration and extraction plans, make the state a strategic hub in the global energy transition. This year, Mexico's mining production index has rebounded to 84.6%, with an average monthly growth of 5.5%.

The congress will welcome delegations from Canada, Finland, and the U.S. state of Arizona, expanding the industry's international connections. Officials from the Ministry of Economy and Tourism noted that this forum helps professionals from Zacatecas participate in industry decision-making. With a 74-year history, AIMMGM is committed to bringing industry experts together at this event focused on modern, sustainable mining.
