en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Brazilian Association of Mining Cities (Amig, Associação Brasileira de Municípios Mineradores) proposed the establishment of a Latin American commission to coordinate mining regulatory frameworks in the region during the World Mining Congress (WMC, Congresso Mundial de Mineração) held in Lima, Peru. The proposal, put forward by the association's president, Marco Antônio Lage, was accepted by attendees and supported by Peru's Minister of Energy and Mines, Waldir Eloy. Its goal is to promote joint mineral policies among countries in the region, strengthen critical minerals supply chains, increase production added value, and ensure that mining regions can obtain economic and social benefits.

During the conference, Lage pointed out that Latin America should shift from its primary role as an exporter of mineral commodities to encouraging local processing and industrialization. He argued that countries such as Brazil, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, and Colombia face similar challenges in regulation, oversight, taxation, and geological knowledge. Against the backdrop of growing global demand for strategic minerals needed for the energy transition, strengthening regional coordination has become essential.

Lage also advocated for reforming Brazil's regulatory framework, increasing investment in geological research, and promoting public policies aimed at attracting investment, fostering innovation, and ensuring sustainable development to serve local development.
