Tech companies linked to mining observe in Argentina a growing market with strategic possibilities for sectors such as lithium and copper, two of the segments with the best prospects in the country. Under that premise, Panorama Minero interviewed Amanda Hall, CEO and founder of the Canadian company Summit Nanotech, who gave her perspective on the current situation in the region around lithium and the details of the denaLi™ DLE technology, which promotes new standards for lithium extraction and which already has a presence in northwest Argentina.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs coordinated the participation of a delegation of authorities and entrepreneurs from the Argentine mining sector in the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) fair, which takes place every year in Toronto, Canada, from March 3 to 6.

Officials and stakeholders from the public and private sectors of Catamarca province, led by their Minister of Mining, Marcelo Murúa, maintained a rigorous agenda at the PDAC 2024 mining fair in Toronto.

The governor of Mendoza addressed the economic and mining situation of Argentina and his province, which has had a restrictive law for mining development since 2007, a scope that could be modified in the next period. Analyzing this scenario, the provincial leader stated that he will speed up the production of copper in the territory since, with the current law and the procedures used in modern copper production, no article of Law 7.722 related to the use of prohibited substances is violated. He did so in the context of the PDAC 2024, at an event for investors promoted by the Argentine Chamber of Mining Companies (CAEM). The province will seek to capitalize on its potential around the red metal and will form a local industrial hub while working together with its counterparts from San Juan, Catamarca, and Salta. From May 21 to 23, the governors of these provinces will formally establish the "Copper Task Force" at the San Juan Mining Expo 2024, an event organized by Panorama Minero since 2006.

The Argentine Chamber of Mining Companies expressed its support for the "May Pact" in a statement issued on Monday, March 4th. The Mining Chamber, also known as CAEM, endorsed the initiative proposed by the national government to establish guiding principles, together with provincial authorities, to guide the social, productive, and economic development of the country.

Representatives from both offices visited the mining projects, carrying out aquifer control.

The provincial governor is participating in the main global mining fair with the aim of seeking projects and investments in the mining hub. Canada is once again hosting the PDAC, the sector's most emblematic exhibition.
