This translated into reality some of the objectives that motivated the amendment and put a final end to many years of discussions over this issue between the federal government and the provincial governments…

A million dollar acquisition puts Argentina again on the sight of mining worldwide since one of the largest silver reservoirs could be put in motion. The company in the center of the story chooses one more time to invest in Argentina…

Argentina continues living an unprecedented mining growth, same growth that in some way kept us busy during most of the time since the current crisis started. Even though we cannot forget that this boom was mainly powered by investments committed a long time ago, reality shows that the sector has grown in most of the economic indicators: production level, exports, investments, and also in others more tangible for any spectator, such as the number of operating mines…

In light of the mining boom Argentina is experiencing, one of the provinces that imposed a law restricting the activity is rethinking its position.

During August, a piece of news much expected since 2006 was finally known: Vale – the new owner of the Potasio Rio Colorado potash project, until earlier this year property of Rio Tinto, who in turn had purchased it from Minera Tea in 2005 – received the approval of its Environmental Impact Declaration, key milestone for advancing towards the realization of the 3,000 M dollars project.

May 7 was declared National Mining Day in the country in 1813 with the passing of the first law to encourage the development of Mining. Throughout the country, many festivities take place to commemorate a growing sector of the economy that has been present since independence in a country that owes its name to Silver (Argent, from French).

In spite of the global crisis, Argentina continues to crystallize projects and mines of significant importance further enhancing an already dynamic sector. Along with the four mines opened between November and April of 2009, this year’s mining day had two meaningful announcements.

In spite of the crisis, mining production for 2009 will increase thanks to the inauguration –or reopening- of 4 mines:

- Gualcamayo, located in the Province of San Juan, started producing gold in late in 2008. The mine is controlled by Yamana. The investment reached 180 million dollars and the project will position San Juan as the first province in gold production.
- Manantial Espejo was inaugurated last March, although it started producing in 2008. The mine is the 8th for the Canadian producer Pan American Silver. Located in southern Santa Cruz, the mine produces silver and gold and demanded 185 million dollars and almost two years for its construction.
