Track 9: Critical Minerals, Strategic Materials and Mineral Policy

(0.15 HDC) + (0.15 GFE) Weighting Logic The model prioritizes: ●​ territorial informal presence as the core structural variable ●​ state fragility and financial capacity as enabling conditions ●​ disruption capacity and formal gold overlap as escalation multipliers The TLRI therefore does not measure crime directly. It identifies thresholds where informal mining can evolve from peripheral activity into a territorial governance competitor. 5.5 Pilot Territorial Findings The pilot application reveals strong territorial concentration rather than homogeneous national distribution. Highest TLRI Scores ●​ Puno ●​ Arequipa ●​ Apurímac ●​ Cusco ●​ Madre de Dios ●​ La Libertad These regions combine different mixes of: ●​ informal mining density ●​ illicit finance ●​ state vulnerability ●​ territorial disruption ●​ formal gold coexistence Interpretation For example: ●​ Puno scores highest due to simultaneous territorial concentration, financial pressure, and high vulnerability. ●​ Arequipa combines strong informal pressure with significant formal gold exposure. ●​ Madre de Dios reflects entrenched extractive illegality and historical territorial embeddedness. 5.6 Implementation Strategy The TLRI framework can be operationalized through five scalable steps: 1. Data Integration Layer Merge concession, REINFO, transport disruption, financial intelligence, and formal mining datasets. 2. Automated Regional Scoring 34
