Resumen
La minera en nuestro país ha crecido sosteniblemente en los últimos diez años, debido al
periodo de aumento de precios de commodities. Sin embargo, en las etapas de precios bajos,
nuestro país ha sido afectado por una desaceleración económica y por lo tanto la falta de
inversión en la industria minera estuvo presente. Debido a esta desaceleración económica es
de carácter obligatorio incentivar la exploración y explotación minera utilizando diferentes
opciones de financiamiento que permitan su impulso. Un contrato metal streaming puede ser
tomado en cuenta como una opción de financiamiento dentro de un análisis económico para
el desarrollo de algún proyecto minero.
Un contrato metal streaming es básicamente una transacción de compra de commodities a
largo plazo con precios acordados y con obligaciones de entrega supeditadas a la producción
futura durante de una mina. Se estudia este contrato como opción de financiamiento en
proyectos de exploración avanzada, así como en explotación. El enfoque metodológico se
basa primero en un estudio de la compañía Wheaton Precious Metal (el análisis de una
compañía streamer) y un segundo análisis está relacionado al estudio de casos de contratos
metal streaming suscritos con tres empresas mineras en Perú (junior, mediana y major). Este
contrato tiene variables de riesgos que están relacionadas directamente a los acuerdos de
este financiamiento. La variable más importante es la volatilidad del precio de los
commodities, hacer un pronóstico de precios de metales a futuro es muy complicado, más
aún cuando son dependientes de la coyuntura de los principales consumidores de metales a
nivel mundial.
The mining in our country has grown sustainably in the last ten years, due to the period of rising commodities prices. However, in the stages of low prices, our country has been affected by an economic slowdown and therefore the lack of investment in the mining industry was present. Due to this economic slowdown, it is mandatory to encourage mining exploration and exploitation using different financing options that allow its promotion. A metal streaming contract can be taken into account as a financing option within an economic analysis for the development of a mining project. A metal streaming contract is basically a long-term commodity purchase transaction at agreed prices and with delivery obligations contingent on future production during a mine. This contract is studied as a financing option in advanced exploration projects, as well as in exploitation. The methodological approach is based first on a study of the company Wheaton Precious Metal (the analysis of a streamer company) and a second analysis is related to the case study of metal streaming contracts signed with three mining companies in Peru (junior, medium and major). This contract has risk variables that are directly related to the agreements of this financing. The most important variable is the volatility of the price of commodities, making a forecast of future metal prices is very complicated, even more so when they depend on the situation of the main consumers of metals worldwide.
