Castro pointed out that “we must work together on a strategy that allows us to better leverage the positive impact generated by mining, and how this activity contributes to the development of other productive endeavors.”.

IMARC 2026 is an event that brings together investors and leading mining players from around the world, as well as trade partners from Asia Pacific, specialized suppliers, and authorities from over 120 countries.
