Government now working on promotion and progressing development of lithium activities
This is a machine translation of the MINEM release originally published in Spanish.
From the Puno region, the minister of Energy and Mines, Alessandra G. Herrera Jara, announced that the sector under her charge is already working on actions to promote scientific and technological research on lithium, a mineral that has veins in the highland region and which may constitute an opportunity for the development of future projects.
In Corani, province of Azángaro (Puno), the head of the Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM) confirmed that the government of President Pedro Castillo respects, supports and promotes the development of private activity, always with respect for the communities and socio-environmental issues.
Likewise, together with the President of the Council of Ministers, Aníbal Torres, he greeted the members of the Nueva Teresita mining cooperative and the Central de Cooperativas Mineras de San Antonio de Poto (CECOMSAP) of Ananea who completed the process of formalizing their activities, promoting the responsible and sustainable development of Small Mining and Artisanal Mining.
The minister highlighted that, in Corani, MINEM has been working on a rural electrification project called Extension of primary lines, primary and secondary networks to benefit 7 localities, which to date has registered an advance of 70%, with its completion projected for December of this year.
He added that this project will benefit 4,250 inhabitants in the district with electricity, and that there are additionally 608 homes and 3 soup kitchens that have access to the FISE LPG Discount Voucher, with a discount of 25 soles on the purchase of a gas cylinder, and that the goal is to reach 1,000 beneficiaries by the end of the year.
Herrera was in Corani with the head of the PCM, participating in the inauguration activities of the first alpaca fiber processing plant in the country, and later held working meetings with the authorities of the province of Carabaya.
