The second, the need for investments and in that they bet with (some reservations) on RIGI. Alfredo Cornejo and Gustavo Saenz They agreed on the qualifications, each in their own style. The Salta governor questioned “the generosity”, the Mendoza governor questioned the lack of promotions for SMEs and activities. But both asked to move forward and then correct.
In it business sector, the opinion also seems to have a certain unanimity of criteria, they believe that it is a unique political moment put together based on a combo that includes the need for dollars, Argentina’s possibilities of being a supplier of proteins, but also of the minerals that the world demands today such as lithium and copper, fundamental for the development of renewable energies.
Added to this is the political context of a willing national government, with instruments such as the RIGI, to endorse the arrival of massive investments in oil, energy and minerals.

The San Juan Mining Expo, a true success for the public, exhibitors and as a political and economic event for the development of economic mining.
Mining and Mendoza, the window of opportunity
The governor Alfredo Cornejo He defined the situation better than anyone, “window of opportunities”, the governor applied the phrase to Mendoza but it perfectly fits the entire sector in Argentina.
The debate in the stands and the charming coffee and rest of the Expo organized by Panorama Minero and the Government of San Juan was – and will continue to be – What is the size of that window and how long it will be open.
That is where the politics and sustainability of the economy of Javier Milei’s government come into play. That window is open today.
A very interesting discussion begins here as well. Why do we have to talk about a window of opportunity? Mining should be (like the software field or industry) a permanent opportunity for development and growth of Argentina as it is in the most advanced countries of the World.
The business, political and social responsibility of this Argentine backwardness in an activity as powerful and as necessary as food for human development is great.
That image is the one that today seems to be changing, Alfredo Cornejo’s recognition of part of the opposition (personalized in Celso Jaque) that accompanies the attempt at mining development, a business community more willing to move and the stealthy participation of several councilors from departments with mining possibilities who looked in amazement at the technology and the development of sustainability in the industry.
Mendoza in front of the window
As we said, the governor spoke of the window of opportunity, Mendoza is actually in front of a window. The resources that our mountain range contains and that have not yet been explored can seriously change the GDP of the province and, as demonstrated from San Juan to Australia, in perfect coexistence with the rest of the productive activities and traditional regional production.
The San Juan Mining Expo clearly showed the technological and industrial development and also the political moment, Now is the time to go through the window and be part of the history of Argentine mining.
