The project includes construction and expansion work on mining roads, with the objective of ensuring transit between mining areas of interest and local communities or production centers.
As part of the Provincial Mining Roads Plan and in accordance with Provincial Law LP 387-A (Article 19, sections b and c), the Ministry of Mining of San Juan will carry out significant improvements to the mining routes in the departments of Iglesia, Calingasta, Jáchal, Valle Fértil, Ullum, Sarmiento, and Angaco. This ambitious initiative, considered historic, will involve a total investment of $400 million and will cover more than 300 kilometers of key mining roads.
To implement this plan, an Agreement of Assistance and Cooperation, Promotion, and Development of Small-Scale Mining was signed with the Provincial Institute of Mining Explorations and Exploitations (IPEEM). This partnership between both institutions aims to optimize access to mining areas of interest and strengthen the critical infrastructure that supports the province's productive development.
The project entails the construction and expansion of mining routes to ensure transit between mining zones and local communities or production centers. In addition to improving mining connectivity, the initiative will positively impact related community infrastructure, particularly in areas of difficult access, thus fostering progress in remote regions.
The funds for this ambitious project come from IPEEM, whose mission, in line with current regulations, is to allocate resources for the development of new mining routes and the construction of infrastructure that enhances mining activity in the province, with a special focus on promoting small-scale mining.
