Peru, one of South America’s oldest civilizations, once again reminds the world of the wealth hidden within its lands. In 2025, the country is strengthening its position in the global gold market, blending its historical connection to precious metals with cutting-edge technologies and major investment flows. Peru is not merely continuing its mining tradition — it is laying the foundation for a future where resources and sustainable development are intrinsically linked.
A symbol of this new chapter in Peruvian gold mining is the Valiente project, led by the Canadian company Hannan Metals. The project spans a vast mineral belt approximately 150 kilometers long in the underexplored central regions of the country. The Previsto zone, where high-grade gold mineralization was first identified, became the starting point. In 2025, Hannan secured drilling permits for the Belen area, located just 20 kilometers southwest of the primary corridor, opening the path for an accelerated expansion of the resource base.
Preliminary studies confirm the presence of robust polymetallic systems rich in gold, copper, and silver, suggesting that Valiente is not a single deposit but rather the nucleus of what could become a new mining cluster in Peru. For the company, with a strong emphasis on sustainable development, the priority is not only resource extraction but also strict adherence to environmental standards, water stewardship, and engagement with local communities.
Strategic interest in Peru extends beyond individual companies. In July 2025, Lima will host the 6th International Mining Peru Congress, welcoming over 200 industry leaders. More than 40 investment projects will be presented, demonstrating Peru’s plan to become one of the world’s leading gold and copper producers by 2035. The agenda emphasizes the integration of cutting-edge exploration techniques, the digitalization of mining operations, and the automation of mining processes. Infrastructure development and regulatory reform will also be key topics, reflecting an ambitious yet pragmatic strategy for long-term growth.
Peru continues to maintain a unique balance between the abundance of its natural resources and a responsible approach to their development. Its legal framework, focused on investor protection, environmental initiatives, and respect for cultural heritage, makes the country a preferred destination for leading international corporations, including Barrick Gold, Anglo American, and Teck Resources. According to a professional survey conducted by PrismMediaWire, Peru remains one of the few places in the world where resource potential is far from exhausted.
With each drill core, with each new report confirming high-grade mineralization, Peru is strengthening not only its economy but its reputation within the global resource ecosystem. In a world where real assets are once again becoming the foundation of future security, Peru offers not illusions, but a solid reality: gold encased in stone, and the will to reveal its value with respect for the land and for humanity.
