Artisanal and Small-Scale Copper Mining in Peru
This report carried out between 2023 and 2024 provides a greater understanding of the reality of artisanal and small-scale copper mining (ASMC) in Peru. It is expected that it will provide useful insights to generate an open dialogue between all stakeholders of the copper value chain within the framework of sustainable development. Small-scale mining is defined by the Peruvian legislation, as artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM). However for the purposes of this study, ASM includes informal (in the process of becoming formalized) and illegal (practiced in prohibited sites). A mixed methodology was used for this research that allowed statistical information geographical spatial data analysis to be validated with qualitative information. This approach allowed us to draw conclusions about the social, economic and cultural dynamics of ASMC miners in Peru.
