Canada Mining 2006 E&MJ Release

September 10, 2006

Canada boasts a long history in mineral exploration and mining and has gained almost unmatched expertise in terms of skills, geological knowledge and adaptability to a wide range of climates. Long exposure to the dangers of mining’s cyclical swings has forced the industry to become extremely technologically advanced and productivity driven. As a result of successes at home, Canada is also one of the leading exporters of a broad range of mining skills and services. Canada’s mining companies and their supporting suppliers are some of the most active when it comes to investing in mineral exploration, mine development and resource production worldwide.

Peru Mining 2024

After five months in Lima and more than 130 interviews, the conversations with C-executives along the Peruvian mining value chain touched on various topics. These included production targets, drilling results, the benefits of new technologies like the so-called “digital twins” to replicate reality in a virtual environment, and even the use of cartridge valves. However, a recurring theme in almost every interview, and perhaps the most significant one in relevance, is Peru's loss of its position as the second-largest copper producer to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
