The mining relationship between Peru and Argentina is entering a pivotal phase. In the first four months of 2024, Peruvian exports of mining goods and services to the Argentine market reached USD 17.9 million, marking a 70% year-over-year increase, according to official data from PROMPERÚ. This growth reflects more than just numbers — it confirms the rise of a high-value technical-commercial partnership between two key mining players in South America.

A total of 51 Peruvian companies were involved in these exports, delivering over 80 product categories ranging from tanks, zinc condensation alloys and powders, to drilling machines and exploration components. This diversified portfolio directly addresses a critical need in the Argentine sector: adding experienced suppliers capable of keeping pace with the country’s mining expansion, with a focus on efficiency, reliability, and international standards.
With a pipeline of 187 mining projects, Argentina is actively working to attract foreign investment. Access to quality equipment, engineering, and technical services is essential to eliminating bottlenecks and improving operational competitiveness. In this scenario, Peru stands out as a regional supplier of choice, not only due to volume, but because of its technical specialization.
“Mining is part of Peru’s DNA. Our millennia-old mineral wealth has evolved into a modern, global industry, with companies offering high-level solutions developed under international standards and a strong results-oriented mindset,” said Silvia Seperack, Trade Counselor at PROMPERÚ in Argentina.

MORE THAN SUPPLIERS: PARTNERS FOR A NEW GENERATION OF REGIONAL MINING
Peru’s participation in Arminera 2025 is not a standalone action — it is part of a broader export strategy driven by PROMPERÚ, the national agency tasked with promoting international trade and building sustainable partnerships in key markets. In Argentina, this effort is already yielding measurable results, both in trade volume and technological collaboration.
For Argentine companies, the Peruvian delegation offers a unique opportunity to access proven technologies, expertise, and solutions tested across the region’s most demanding mining operations. For Peru, it’s a chance to solidify its standing as a reliable, specialized mining partner in one of South America’s most dynamic markets.
