NewzThe Peruvian government is considering replacing the Integral Registry of Mining Formalization (Reinfo) with a new legislative proposal known as the Mape Law. This initiative aims to establish a simplified procedure for the formalization of artisanal and small-scale miners in the country. The announcement was made by Guillermo Shinno Huamaní, the Minister of Energy and Mines.
The proposed transition comes amid concerns regarding the effectiveness of the current Reinfo system. According to the Minister, the existing mechanism has produced unintended negative consequences by inadvertently facilitating the concealment of illicit mining activities rather than achieving its intended goal of full formalization.
