".........Argentina is one of the countries that is most energetically stating its case for more investment. Mauricio Macri, who was elected President in November, has moved quickly to demolish many of the barriers to foreign miners that had been erected under the previous Kirchner rule.
Daniel Meilan, Argentina’s Secretary of Mining, is at PDAC and pointed in an interview to several encouraging developments, including an end to the country’s export taxes on metals and a radically easier import regime that will make it simpler for miners to source the goods they need.
“Argentina is coming back to mining after several years in which we were effectively out of the market for political reasons,” he said.
He acknowledges that challenges remain – notably, disagreements among the country’s 23 provinces, each of which controls the natural resources within its own boundaries.
But he compared the Macri government’s situation to a new conductor taking charge of an unruly orchestra. “The important thing is that the conductor knows the right symphony to play. We think we do.”
