There also exists a version of the flag with the coat of arms. The province was formed on June 12, 1989. Major industries in the province from what I can see are mining and agriculture.

Cerro Lunar

Like La Rinconada, Cerro Lunar is also a mining town, being just outside of it. Cerro Lunar was created on January 28, 2004. Its flag can be seen flying at Google Maps in front of the municipal government building. Its name means "lunar hill", likely because the terrain it is on looks like such.

Chuquine

At https://www.facebook.com/100947319088527/photos/a.100954109087848/100954965754429/, the flag of Chuquine is clearly visible. On the hoist side is a yellow portion of a circle, overlaid on a horizontal triband of blue, white, and green. In the center is the municipal coat of arms.

Chuquine appears to be a newly created municipality, 2017 according to Wikipedia and by seeing the municipal FB page. Since it is so new, I have not found a record of when it became a municipality. If we take the words of the government's Facebook page, then Chuquine became a municipality on December 2, 2017. A Peruvian census recorded the population at 267. It appears to be a mining town, based on the municipal coat of arms, as with many C.P. municipalities of the district.
Daniel Renterķa, 5 January 2024

I did end up finding that Chuquine was created by resolution on November 30, 2017. And as I assumed, it finally took full force on December 2. Dates of becoming an actual municipality appear to not be accounted for in Peruvian municipal information documents, only dates the resolutions creating these were adopted.

Trapiche

Trapiche flag image by Daniel Renterķa, 26 December 2023

At https://www.facebook.com/photo we can see a resolution adopting the fairly new flag (and coat of arms) of the municipality of Trapiche. This was done after a contest was started in the municipality on June 28 and concluded on September 24, 2021.

By Resolution N° 004 - 2021 MCPT/A, both the flag and coat of arms were approved on October 3, 2021. And also a bit of knowledge, Trapiche gained municipal status on December 21, 2001, so this contest was done just in time to celebrate its 20th anniversary; very likely, this was a major factor in having a contest for municipal symbols. The symbolism of the municipal symbols can really only be inferred, and thankfully the resolution provides the official images of the symbols in Annex 1 and 2.

The flag of Trapiche was created by Amadeo Gomez Quispe.

Putina District

It appears Putina District either has no flag or uses the same flag as the provincial flag. If the page on Wikipedia for Mayors of Putina is correct, it seems that the mayor of Putina Province is also regarded as such for the city (which I can confirm has no government) and district of Putina. Of course though, it seems this is a ceremonial title. As a result, it appears that administration for the district is tied very closely to the province, much more so than other districts of the province.

San Juan de Cayacaya

At 10:32 in this video https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=499667041310360, the flag of San Juan de Cayacaya is visible (albeit blurry). The shortened version of the municipality's name is Cayacaya. The municipality was founded on December 18, 2002.

Santa Ana de Tarucani

It appears this flag is also the winner of a contest for a flag and coat of arms, in which its winners were announced on March 30, 2021. Unsure if there was a previous flag, but considering the pattern of municipal flags in the country, I would assume it was the Peruvian flag with the municipality's name on it. This was done most likely in preparation for the anniversary of the municipality.
