The 12th International Gold & Silver Symposium will take place in Lima, Peru, May 17 – 18, 2016, organised by the National Mining, Petroleum and Energy Society of Peru. Its main objectives are to promote awareness in the potential of natural resources, particularly gold and silver resources, and to foster new investment and business opportunities. The symposium will address a variety of topics such as: trends and perspectives in the gold and silver markets, their impact in the world economy, and the key role mining activities play in the development of many countries such as Peru. At the same time, this event is a great opportunity to gather information about new gold and silver operations and projects, especially of the Latin American region, among other important topics.

Peru is the top gold producer in Latin America and the sixth producer in the world. In 2014, Peru’s production was 140 t. In silver, Peru ranks third among the world’s largest producers and the second in Latin America with a production of 3,778 t.

The symposium will assemble more than 1,000 participants, including very high-level entrepreneurs, investors, executives and professionals related mainly to gold and silver mining activities. There will also be government officials, analysts, and executives of important suppliers of essential goods and services for the mining industry among the participants. http://www.simposium-del-oro.snmpe.pe/12-gold-symposium-english.html
