Why Visit GME at CONAMIN 2026: Advanced Drilling Solutions for Peru's Mining Industry
What Is CONAMIN 2026?
The Congreso Nacional de Minería (CONAMIN) is Peru's premier national mining congress, bringing together leading engineers, operators, contractors, and suppliers from across the Andean mining sector. The 2026 edition continues to grow as the must-attend event for professionals working in underground and open-pit operations throughout Peru and the wider South American region.
For equipment buyers and mining decision-makers, CONAMIN is the ideal venue to evaluate new drilling technology, compare suppliers side by side, and build partnerships that keep operations running efficiently all year long.
GME's Star Products at CONAMIN 2026
GME (Global Mining Equipment) is North and South America's market leader in pneumatic jackleg and sinker drills. At CONAMIN 2026, GME will be showcasing its two flagship underground drilling products — the G250 Jackleg Drill and the GP755A Pusher Leg.
The G250 Jackleg Drill (also known as perforadora jackleg in Spanish) is GME's flagship pneumatic rock drill — and the direct equivalent to the Boart Longyear S250. Designed for demanding underground hard rock mines, it delivers high penetration rates and strong torque output even at low air pressure. Its pusher leg controls are fully integrated into the drill backhead for single-ergonomic-position operation, reducing physical strain and improving drilling accuracy — especially on inclined or overhead tasks.
The G250 features large contact areas between major cylinder components, reducing impact pressure on individual parts and extending product life in high-utilization environments. It is available in jackleg, sinker, and stoper configurations — one platform, all underground applications.
| Specification | Metric | Imperial |
|---|---|---|
| Weight | 34.3 kg | 75.6 lb |
| Air Consumption @ 6 Bar | 83 l/s | 180 cfm |
| Piston Diameter | 79.4 mm | 3.125 in |
| Stroke Length | 67.7 mm | 2.625 in |
| Impact Rate | 2,300 BPM | |
| Compatible Pusher Leg | GP755A | |
The GP755A Pusher Leg (Empujador Perforadora) is specially engineered for the G250 jackleg drill. Its controls are integrated directly into the G250 drill backhead, with push-button jackleg retraction for fast, fatigue-reducing operation. Its balanced weight distribution gives operators easy control during long drilling shifts. Parts are interchangeable with the Boart Longyear A755A Pusher Leg, simplifying spare parts procurement across mixed fleets.

Key Benefits of Choosing GME for Your Peruvian Operation
- S250 & A755A Interchangeability: G250 and GP755A components are interchangeable with Boart Longyear equivalents — keeping your existing spare parts inventory intact and reducing lead times.
- High Penetration at Low Air Pressure: Engineered to perform consistently even at varying air supply levels — critical for deep underground operations in Peru's high-altitude mines.
- Ergonomic, Integrated Controls: Pusher leg controls built into the drill backhead reduce operator fatigue, improve positional accuracy, and lower the risk of injury on long shifts.
- Minimum Downtime, Low Maintenance Cost: Proven reliability and accessible service intervals mean fewer unplanned stoppages and lower total cost of ownership.
- Multiple Configurations — One Platform: Jackleg, sinker, and stoper variants share the same core platform, reducing training requirements and unifying your spare parts stock.
- Local Peru Support: GME has regional offices in Lima, Trujillo, and Arequipa — delivering fast commercial and technical response right across Peru's mining belt.
Who Should Visit the GME Booth at CONAMIN 2026?
- Underground mine operators running jackleg drilling programs in development headings, stopes, and raises in Peru's narrow-vein gold, silver, copper, and base-metal mines.
- Mining contractors currently using Boart Longyear S250 or A755 equipment and looking for a cost-effective, parts-compatible alternative.
- Equipment procurement teams needing a single-platform solution covering sinker, stoper, and jackleg applications with shared spare parts.
- Operations and maintenance managers prioritizing low downtime, ergonomic operator safety, and easy access to a local support network.
Why Peru's Mining Industry Relies on GME
Peru is one of the world's top producers of gold, silver, copper, zinc, and lead — with a significant share of output coming from underground hard rock mines in the Andes. These operations demand equipment that performs reliably at altitude, in confined working spaces, and under the pressure of continuous production schedules.
GME drills are proven in exactly these conditions. As the market leader in North and South America — with dedicated regional headquarters in Lima, Trujillo, and Arequipa — GME is already where Peru's miners are. CONAMIN 2026 is the perfect opportunity to meet the team, see the equipment, and find out why mine operators who cannot afford downtime choose GME.
