MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / April 2, 2026 / Americas Market Intelligence (AMI) has published a new advisory report entitled Managing Mining Risk in Latin America, available on its website. This resource-developed for mining companies, mining equity investors, and law firms specialized in mining-focuses on 7 above-ground mining risks in Latin America. These risks are:
Political interference
Regulatory instability
Security
Local community opposition
Reputational
Operational
Economic
"We've seen over the years how conflicts in these areas can quickly escalate into violence, mine closures, severe legal penalties, labor shortages, massive protests, and many other problems," explains Sebastian Pérez-Ferreiro, codirector of AMI's mining practice. "Yet these risks are manageable-they just require proactive initiatives to address them early on. We created the report to offer guidance on best practices."
AMI gained its understanding of how to effectively manage LatAm mining risk by doing it. Over the past 25 years, the company has worked on 200+ projects focused on:
Identifying all key stakeholders and mapping their concerns
Building local teams to employ reality-tested tactics to resolve conflicts and build consensus
Conducting ongoing monitoring to ensure stability and head off future risks
"Mining companies, investors, and even law firms have bandwidth difficulties in addressing these risks. But this report should serve to help them understand the risk drivers and what works best to defuse them or maneuver around them," says Pérez-Ferreiro.
