Under the solid legal framework of the Large Investment Incentive Regime (RIGI), promoted by the management of Javier Milei, Argentina is preparing to receive an unprecedented flow of capital in the mining sector.
According to a strategic survey by the Ministry of Mining, the investment projected for the next decade has already reached an astronomical figure of USD 61.5 billion, consolidating projects that, for the most part, are already under execution and promise to change the country's productive matrix forever.This ambitious plan encompasses 37 metal and lithium projects designed to start operations or expand their installed capacity over the next ten years. Although disbursements will be progressive, the Ministry of Mining emphasizes that these investment commitments “do reflect progressive investment commitments that will materialize over time, and could even be exceeded as the
works progress.”

It leads in number of initiatives with 11 projects totaling USD 14.6
billion.Catamarca: Complete the podium with 8 projects worth close to USD 8 billion.
Jujuy: Register 3 projects that represent USD 2.5 billion.
