“Today I visited the Sierra Pintada Mining and Manufacturing Complex in San Rafael, along with the Minister of Energy and Environment of Mendoza, Dr. Jimena Latorre, the Undersecretary of Nuclear Policies, Eng. Ayelén Giomi, and the President of Dioxitek, Eng. Bruno Oberlis,” he wrote.
The official noted that the tour aimed to coordinate with provincial authorities the first steps of the remediation process for the historical liabilities of the site, a fundamental stage to advance towards the reactivation of uranium mining, an activity that has been halted for over 30 years.
“The collaboration between the nation and the province constitutes a central axis of this stage, which will allow Argentina to mine uranium on our own soil again,” he explained.
And he concluded: “With these advances, the remediation process in Sierra Pintada consolidates as a key step within the country's energy and nuclear strategy, aimed at recovering productive capacities on national territory.”
