The meeting was led by the governor Raúl Jalil and included the participation of Glencore Argentina's CEO, Martín Pérez de Solay, together with country manager Juan Donicelli. During the meeting, the participants analyzed technical and strategic aspects linked to the future of Minera Alumbrera, one of the province's most relevant mining projects.
