Argentina's Mining Minister Projects $32.7 Billion in Lithium and Copper Exports Over Next Decade

Argentina's Mining Minister Projects $32.7 Billion in Lithium and Copper Exports Over Next Decade

Argentina's mining minister, Luis Lucero, announced that the country expects to significantly increase its exports of lithium and copper over the next ten years, projecting a total of $32.7 billion in exports. This projection includes $12.1 billion from lithium and $20.6 billion from copper, a substantial increase from the $6 billion in mining exports recorded last year. The anticipated growth is attributed to President Javier Milei's RIGI investment incentive scheme, which aims to attract large-scale mining investments. The scheme has already drawn interest from major mining companies such as BHP and Rio Tinto. Argentina, part of the 'lithium triangle' with Chile and Bolivia, is the fourth-largest supplier of lithium globally. The country is also developing significant copper projects, with new operations expected to commence around 2030.

Argentina Mining Chamber Calls for Extension of Investment Incentives Amid Economic Adjustments

Argentina Mining Chamber Calls for Extension of Investment Incentives Amid Economic Adjustments

The Argentine Chamber of Mining Companies (CAEM) is advocating for the extension of the country's flagship investment incentive scheme, the Incentive Regime for Large Investments (RIGI), beyond its current 2027 deadline. The scheme has been instrumental in attracting billions of dollars in planned investments by offering tax, currency, and legal stability benefits for projects over $200 million. CAEM President Roberto Cacciola suggests expanding the program to include smaller projects, which are crucial for job creation and local supply chains. Despite the government's indication that the program is temporary, the mining sector expects to draw about $2 billion in investment this year, driven by projects like BHP's Vicuna copper development.

Argentina Extends RIGI Investment Incentives to 2027, Aiming to Boost Mining Sector

Argentina has extended the application deadline for its Incentive Regime for Large Investments (RIGI) from July 8, 2026, to July 8, 2027, as per Decree No. 105/2026. This extension is part of a broader effort to enhance the regulatory framework and attract more foreign investment into the country's mining sector. The RIGI program offers a 30-year guarantee of fiscal, currency, and legal stability to large-scale projects, addressing historical challenges in Argentina's investment climate. As of May 2026, seven mining projects have been approved under RIGI, representing $8.1 billion in committed investment, with 13 additional projects under review. The total value of all submitted and approved projects across sectors exceeds $50 billion. The program aims to provide certainty over the life of mining projects, which often require long-term commitments due to their extended development timelines.
