Cimpor to invest US$125mn in cement production plant
Portuguese cement company Cimentos de Portugal (Cimpor) will invest US$125mn in the construction of a cement plant in southwestern Peruvian department Arequipa, Cimpor reported in a release.
The initiative will be carried out through the company's Peruvian subsidiary, Cimpor Inversiones, which has purchased 80% of the company Cementos Otorongo for 57mn soles (US$18.8mn).
It was Cementos Otorongo that, at the time, was developing the cement project. The company has enough raw material to produce cement and clinker, and has all the permits needed to build and operate a plant of this kind in Arequipa.
The plant's capacity will reach 650,000t annually, being able to cover 10% of Peru's cement consumption. It will initially sell only to the domestic market, but plans on exporting in the future.
The facility is expected to become operative in two years.
Besides Portugal, Cimpor also has operations in Spain, Turkey, China, Egypt, Mozambique, Morocco, Brazil and South Africa.

Six prequalify for Kingsmill acid plant bidding
Peru's mining ministry reported that six parties have prequalified for the bidding to construct the Kingsmill acid water treatment plant to resolve environmental liabilities near the Yauli and Mantaro rivers.
The prequalified bidders are Peruvian engineering firms BISA, CESEL and GyM, the Chilean branch of Canada's Hatch, and two consortiums: one made up of Peru's COSAPI and the US arm of France's Veolia, and another between Mexico's Earth Tech and Canadian Environmental and Metallurgical.
Twenty potential bidders had shown interest in participating.
The ministry will accept official bids starting December 12 and open them January 21, 2008, with the first construction work set to start in the first quarter of next year, it said in a statement.
Vancouverite Peru Copper (PCR), the owner of the Toromocho copper project, recently presented a feasibility study for the Kingsmill plant and agreed to donate US$24.1mn to build the operation.
The endeavor aims to clean up acid runoff from mining into the Yauli and Mataro rivers in Junín department that has been a serious problem for decades as a result of activities linked to the La Oroya polymetallic smelter.
The pollution first started when the Cerro de Pasco copper corporation owned La Oroya and in 1934 finished building the Kingsmill tunnel as an annex to it. Today US company Doe Run owns La Oroya.

Argentine Techint To Start 408 KM Gas Pipeline Construction in Jan 2008
Argentine industrial group Techint will start the construction of a 408 km long gas pipeline in Peru in January 2008, general manager of Peruvian gas exports consortium, Peru LNG, Barbara Bruce, said on November 15, 2007.
The gas pipeline will transport liquefied natural gas (LNG) of the Camisea field. It will start from the Ayacucho department and will reach the gas liquefaction plant in Pampa Melchorita on the Pacific coast of the country, run by Peru LNG. Between 10 pct and 15 pct of that plant is already concluded and some 85 pct of the equipment is bought.
The first ship, which will transport natural gas to Mexico, is expected to sail in May 2010. The capacity of each ship will round 170,000 cu m of LNG and every fourth day a ship will sail to Mexico.
The exports of gas from Camisea are awarded to Peru LNG, formed by U.S. energy group Hunt Oil, South Korea's SK Corp, Algerian Sonatrach, and Argentine Pluspetrol and Techint. Pluspetrol Peru Corporacion SA, local subsidiary of Argentine Pluspetrol, operates the gas field.

Peru, Argentina Seen To Attract More Copper Investments than Chile 2008-2012
Peru and Argentina are expected to attract more investments in the copper sector than Chile in the 2008-2012 period, Chilean brokerage LarrainVial said on November 14, 2007.
One of the reasons is that Chile is expected to produce 1.1 million tonnes of copper annually, which will be less than Peruvian and Argentine output.
Peru is the third biggest copper producer worldwide, accumulating 7.0 pct of the world output, after Chile with 35 pct and the USA with 8.0 pct. Peru is expected to post a 6.0 pct rise in its 2007 copper output and to produce more than 1.11 million metric tonnes.
Peru and Argentina are opening their copper market to foreign investment, a process, which has already started in Chile, Chilean Mining Minister, Karen Poniachik, said. There also is a process of displacement of foreign investments from Chile to Peru and Argentina, Poniachik added.
The Chinese gold producer Zijinc, for example, acquired the shares of British mining company Monterrico Metals in the copper project Rio Blanco, in the Piura department, northern Peru.

Cerro Corona gold-copper start-up delayed, costs rise, says Gold Fields
The start-up of Gold Fields` Cerro Corona gold-copper project in Peru will be delayed by four months with ore treatment now due to begin by mid-June 2008 rather than March because of the South African company`s inability to complete engineering tasks on schedule.
Cerro Corona, in Cajamarca department, is due to produce 140,000 oz per year of gold and more than 27,000 tpy of copper contained in concentrates.
Poor rock quality and inadequate material delivery rates have hampered building the tailings management facility and several contractors responsible for installing the concentrator have underperformed, Gold Fields said.
The company also increased its forecast for capital costs. Construction costs will rise by 23 percent to $421 million from $343 million, it said.
"While we are disappointed with the delay and the increased construction costs, Cerro Corona remains a robust project and will make a significant contribution to the future of Gold Fields. We have thoroughly reviewed every facet of this project and I am confident that the required steps have been taken to ensure completion within the revised project schedule and budget," said ceo Ian Cockerill, in a statement.
Cerro Corona has reserves of 3.2 million oz of gold and 1,089 million lb of copper.

EIU's Peru Business environment at a glance
Policy towards private enterprise and competition
2008-10: Business-friendly rules the norm, but distortions persist, owing to powerful lobbying groups.
2011-12: Continued strengthening of business rules and intellectual property protection to comply with terms of free-trade agreement (FTA) with the US.
Policy towards foreign investment
2008-10: Few formal barriers, but some ambiguity in policy towards investors. Mining, energy, communications and transport will remain magnets. Addressing community-based tensions will be important in reducing political risk.
2011-12: Emphasis on attracting foreign investment into transport infrastructure, mining, energy and tourism.
Foreign trade and exchange controls
2008-10: Implementation of FTA with the US. Negotiation of bilateral FTAs with the EU, Mexico and China. Tariffs will remain below the common external tariff (CET) of the Comunidad Andina (CAN, the Andean Community).
2011-12: Gradual liberalisation to comply with bilateral trade agreements.
Taxes
2008-10: System remains unsettled and complex. Net assets and financial transactions taxes retained at lower rate; little prospect of cut in 19% value-added tax (VAT) rate.
2011-12: Additional elimination of some of the many tax exemptions to widen the tax base, but no major reform.
Financing
2008-10: Capital market grows in depth and sophistication. Bank lending sees cautious growth.

The labour market
2008-10: Additional rigidities introduced as labour code is revised. Wage pressures weak, but skill levels generally low.
2011-12: Unions still weak, owing to high unemployment and underemployment. Implementation of FTA with the US increases pressure for greater labour-market flexibility.
Infrastructure
2008-10: Concessions issued and awarded for transport infrastructure, including roads and ports.
2011-12: Further development of projects linking Peru’s transport infrastructure with that of Brazil.
