A new legislation in New Zealand is opening the door to a more efficient exploitation of the country's strategic mineral resources, while promoting sustainable development and respect for the environment. This measure opens the possibility of closer collaboration between New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Peru, and Chile in the mining sector, aiming to build a more resilient, safe, and sustainable industry.
These countries emerge as key strategic partners sharing a strong regulatory framework, a commitment to sustainability, and a focus on technological innovation. Mexico, Brazil, Peru, and Chile have stood out as key players in the global mining industry, with extensive experience in the extraction of essential minerals and a growing interest in adopting advanced technologies to enhance their productive processes and reduce their environmental impact.
New Zealand companies such as Boa Hydraulics, ENEX, Rocklabs, Seequent, and Tait Communications will participate in the Convention of the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) 2025, the largest global mining fair. These companies have demonstrated their ability to provide innovative solutions that are redefining how mining addresses current challenges.
New Zealand is implementing initiatives like the new Fast-track Approvals Act to optimize its mining industry, while Canada is recognized for its leadership in mining exploration and exploitation. The collaboration among these countries at PDAC 2025 is shaping up as the beginning of a new era for mining, based on cooperation, technology, and the responsible development of resources.
Diego Rodríguez, business development manager of New Zealand Trade & Enterprise, has highlighted the importance of this collaboration at the PDAC event. According to Rodríguez, this cooperation among countries with common interests in the mining industry can drive innovation and sustainability, key aspects in a sector that is undergoing an unprecedented global transformation. NZTE is committed to supporting New Zealand companies in their expansion into North American and Latin American markets, strengthening relationships with strategic partners in the region.
