“LatAm Mine Water Conference is a unique mining event which brings the best water management practices and market leaders under one roof.
Since 2012, the event has grown to become one of the key events within the region.
Our first successful edition of the series was harboured in Brazil and the second edition was ambitiously taken to Chile in 2013 which took this event to the next level.



This year the 3rd edition of the LatAm Mine Water Conference will be unveiled in Lima. Since Peru is endowed with valuable natural resources, being the 2nd largest producer of copper Peru was our next best stop to showcase cutting edge technology and knowledge rendering presentations from various stakeholders.”, stated Senior Conference Producer Ritika Sinha.
