Uranium and Lithium: Pillars of energy leadership for mining, technological and smart city development in Peru and the world

This landmark forum represents Peru's formal entry into the global critical minerals conversation, bringing together government officials, industry leaders, and international stakeholders to discuss the country's strategic mineral resources. The event is co-organized by Peru's Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM) and the Ministry of Housing, Construction and Sanitation, reflecting the cross-sectoral importance of these minerals. Attendees can expect discussions on policy frameworks for sustainable mining development, technological innovation in extraction and processing, and the integration of critical minerals into smart city infrastructure. The forum timing aligns with preparations for the 27th World Mining Congress also scheduled for Lima, creating a concentrated period of mining sector focus in Peru. Companies with Peruvian uranium and lithium assets, including American Lithium with its Falchani and Macusani projects, are likely to participate as the government seeks to position Peru as a key player in the global energy transition. The event signifies Peru's commitment to developing its energy sector with minimal environmental impact while meeting growing international demand for critical minerals essential to renewable energy technologies and electric vehicle production.
