The governor of Catamarca, Raúl Jalil, confirmed that President Javier Milei will visit the province at the end of October to tour the new lithium projects that began to be developed under the Incentive Regime for Large Investments (RIGI). The visit had been scheduled for these weeks but had to be postponed due to weather conditions in the mountainous area.
The announcement was made during the inauguration of the solar park of the company Arcor in Recreo, where the provincial leader also anticipated the arrival of the Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo, and the Chief of Cabinet, Diego Santilli, to advance a joint agenda on infrastructure and productive development.
Milei will tour the new lithium plants promoted by the RIGI
Jalil explained that the President will visit the mining ventures that have begun production thanks to the incentive scheme promoted by the national government.
"The President's visit was postponed due to bad weather in the mountains for the month of October, to see the new lithium plants within the RIGI that are about to be inaugurated", stated the governor.
Additionally, he highlighted the growth that the mining activity is experiencing in the province.
"We have four lithium carbonate plants that are already entering production, of which three are RIGI and one we share with Salta", he specified.
The presidential visit aims to showcase one of the main results of the investment promotion policy driven by Milei's administration, which has made the RIGI one of the central tools to attract large productive projects and consolidate the development of strategic sectors such as mining.
