Argentina's Mining Potential: President Javier Milei is focusing on unlocking Argentina's copper and lithium resources to stabilize the economy and attract investment, particularly through the Large Investment Incentive Regime (RIGI), which has already drawn interest for over $30 billion in projects, primarily in mining.
Global Demand and Investment: With rising global copper demand driven by electrification and renewable energy, major companies like BHP and Glencore are investing in Argentina's mining sector, while analysts suggest the country's copper projects could represent a $47 billion opportunity by 2040, contingent on consistent policies and social acceptance.
