Complementing the matrix, a brief description of the key characteristics of the 10 successful cases meeting the criteria is presented below. At the corporate level, Peru includes Cerro Verde, Antamina, Anglo American-Quellaveco (which also encompasses the CMQ case) and Minsur; Chile includes Minera Los Pelambres and SQM Lithium Ventures; and Brazil includes the company Vale. At the public policy level, RIMAY in Peru, and the Mining Institutional Framework in Chile- Alianza Valor Minero and Alta Ley. Peru (Arequipa) – Cerro Verde: The Hydropower, Drinking Water, and Sanitation Program, developed with government and public companies, illustrates a circular economy approach, demonstrating the virtuous water cycle for agriculture, livestock, and the mining company. Cerro Verde has co-financed the construction of three water reservoirs, funded two drinking water and wastewater treatment plants, as well as the associated conveyance infrastructure. Peru (Áncash) – Antamina: A socially oriented water management approach is implemented through a series of water-related projects developed in coordination with the State, civil society, and local communities. These initiatives involve canals, technified irrigation, reservoirs, and dams. Using treated water, Antamina has reforested over 100 hectares, conserving 50+ animal species, capturing CO₂, enriching soil, protecting the valley, and planting more than three million trees across various areas. Peru (Moquegua) – Anglo American - Quellaveco: The FutureSmart Mining™ approach integrates technology, digitalization, and sustainability through community partnerships to create shared value, minimize impacts, and exceed carbon neutrality. Quellaveco is Anglo American’s first fully digital operation and Peru’s only one, using AI, digital twins, and virtual simulators. Its Sustainable Mining Plan promotes efficient water use, shared territorial planning, and prosperous communities. Peru (Puno) – Minsur: The tailings reprocessing plant at San Rafael mine exemplifies a circular economy, recycling 93% of water, avoiding explosives, reducing energy use, and employing 60% local staff. It also boosts the local economy, creating 1,500+ indirect jobs and recovering tin from legacy tailings. Peru (Moquegua) – Monitoring Committee of the Quellaveco Dialogue Roundtable (CMQ): A central platform for territorial development and coordination among mining stakeholders. It monitors compliance with the agreements established during the 2012 Dialogue Roundtable throughout the project’s life cycle and communicates results to both the population and authorities, providing recommendations. The agreements encompass water stewardship, environmental protection, the promotion of local labor and enterprises, agricultural development, and the Moquegua Development Fund, valued at one billion soles. Peru (Moquegua and Cajamarca) – RIMAY (Center for Convergence and Good Mining–Energy Practices): Since 2019, has promoted national dialogue platforms, vision documents, technical working groups, and monitoring committees, fostering good practices and 138
