“It is a space for reflection and camaraderie where we interact with speakers and specialists from the industry, public sector authorities, professionals linked to Earth Sciences, mining suppliers, businessmen and university students,” he said.

The convention, he said, offers the opportunity for the collaborators of this industry to evaluate the situation and the immediate future of Mexican mining, if one takes into consideration that the sector’s investment totaled 4,246 million dollars in 2021, a figure that is insufficient. to generate greater dynamism in the sector and continue promoting the country’s economic growth, hence the need for new concessions to develop exploration projects.

The president of the AIMMGM recalled that the Fraser Institute reveals data that shows that, despite its mining vocation, Mexico has dropped in the list of the main countries to invest in this industry, so it is necessary to promote investment, review the tax rate and generate legal certainty to promote the generation of employment, because only in this way can development and social welfare be promoted.

“Facilities must be provided for more companies to set up, so that they generate more employment and, in this way, contribute to reducing poverty, backwardness and public insecurity,” he specified.
