Pataz province, an area abundant in gold, has been under a state of emergency since December 2023. A tragic incident unfolded when nine perished and 15 were wounded following an armed raid on the Poderosa mine facilities.

Military and law enforcement personnel forge a united front to preserve law and order and tackle illicit mining and associated transgressions. All this as the Peruvian parliament moves to revoke the initial provision of legislative decree 1607, granting special policing authority over unregistered miners in the Comprehensive Mining Formalization Registry (Reinfo), particularly those illicitly transporting firearms and explosives.
