Market Intelligence â Latin America
From the copper heartlands of Chile and Peru to the emerging operations of Colombia and the strategic hub of Panama, Pegasus is positioned where the region's mining industry operates.
Explore MarketsWhy Latin America
Latin America is home to the largest concentrations of copper, gold, silver, and lithium deposits on earth. The region's mining industry demands world-class equipment, consumables, and supply chain expertise â and that demand is growing.
Pegasus Supply Chain Corp is headquartered in Panama City, giving us equal access to every major mining market in the region. We understand local procurement processes, regulatory environments, and the operational realities of remote mine site supply in a way that overseas suppliers simply cannot replicate without in-market representation.
Country Focus
Panama is Pegasus's home base and the commercial nerve centre of our Latin American operations. Beyond its role as our headquarters, Panama is strategically critical for the entire region â the Canal corridor, the Colón Free Zone, and the country's dollarised, stable economy make it the natural hub for LATAM mining supply chains.
The flagship opportunity is Cobre Panama â one of the largest copper mines in the western hemisphere, operated by First Quantum Minerals. Following its temporary suspension, the mine is expected to reactivate in the near term, creating one of the largest single procurement opportunities in the region. Pegasus holds existing vendor registrations and is actively preparing its supplier catalogue for day-one readiness.

Chile is the undisputed centre of global copper production, accounting for approximately 27% of world output. The country's mining sector is characterised by world-scale operations with highly sophisticated procurement requirements â and a strong preference for proven, reliable supply chain partners.
Chile's northern Atacama region hosts the densest concentration of large-scale copper mines on earth, including Codelco's flagship operations, BHP's Escondida, and Anglo American's Los Bronces. These operations run continuous, high-volume procurement cycles for wearing parts, structural components, haul truck solutions, and process plant consumables.
Haul truck bodies and payload solutions for Komatsu and CAT fleets operating in Atacama operations. Wearing parts and GET systems for high-tonnage open-pit environments. Pump and valve solutions for tailings and process plant applications.
Peru is the world's second largest producer of copper and silver, and a top-three zinc producer. The country's mining sector spans the Andes from north to south, with operations ranging from ultra-high altitude polymetallic mines to large-scale open-pit copper operations in the south.
Peru's mining procurement environment is characterised by rigorous vendor qualification processes and strong in-country presence requirements. Pegasus's Panama base, Spanish capability, and regional logistics network position us as a credible partner for Peruvian operations seeking international supply chain solutions.

Colombia is one of Latin America's most exciting emerging mining markets, with a significant and largely underdeveloped copper and gold resource base. Historically known for coal and emeralds, the country is now attracting major international investment into its copper and gold sectors.
Colombia's geographic proximity to Panama â just hours by road or sea â makes it one of the most naturally accessible markets for Pegasus's supply chain and agency services. The country's improving security environment and regulatory reforms are accelerating project development timelines.
