en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Ministry of Energy and Mines (Minem) has released its 2026 mining investment portfolio, comprising 66 mining projects across 19 provinces, with a total value exceeding US$64.075 billion, representing a 1.7% increase compared to the portfolio updated in October 2025.

This portfolio reflects a gradual diversification toward strategic minerals such as copper and molybdenum, which are essential for global clean technology supply chains. The Directorate General of Mining Promotion and Sustainability (DGPSM) noted that this document serves as a key tool for sectoral policies, regional planning, and private investment decisions, highlighting its contribution to production growth and exports, as well as generating foreign exchange, fiscal revenue, and transfers through Canon Minero (mining tax), Regalías Mineras (mining royalties), and Derecho de Vigencia y Penalidad (validity and penalty rights), resources used to fund development across the country's regions.

This edition underscores the dynamic nature of the mining subsector, incorporating two new projects (Integración Atacocha-El Porvenir and Optimización Carahuacra – San Cristóbal), while removing the San Gabriel project, which entered the production phase in December 2025. The document consists of seven chapters, presenting technical information and key characteristics of the portfolio projects, such as start year, location, project type, progress stage, water supply source, mining method, and extracted minerals, with capital expenditure (Capex) investment as a reference. Additionally, it analyzes the macroeconomic impact of global copper supply and demand, and provides detailed information on the 66 projects through technical cards, including mining rights holders, geographic location, capital expenditure investment, deposit and/or mineralization type, key data, and current status.
