Mining in Argentia
Argentina is an increasingly attractive jurisdiction for mining investment. Under President Javier Milei, Argentina is rapidly positioning itself as a top-tier destination for mining investment, thanks to sweeping economic reforms, a pro-mining regulatory stance, and vast geological potential.
Market-oriented economic reforms
Liberal economic agenda
Milei is pushing aggressive free-market reforms, deregulation, and a reduced role of the state – directly appealing to foreign capital.
Privatisation drive
A broad push to privatise state-owned assets signals openness to private and international investment.
Mining-friendly regulatory environment
Government support for mining
Strong national support for expanding strategic sectors such as lithium, copper, and gold.
Permit streamlining
Moves to simplify and accelerate permitting and regulatory processes.
Federal-provincial alignment
Federal-provincial alignment
Improved coordination between national and
provincial governments to promote mining activity.
Untapped reserves

Geopolitical stability and trade access
Democratic resilience
Strong institutional framework and respect for the rule of law.
Strategic location
Access to major global trade routes and growing integration into global critical mineral supply chains.
