when we think of Natural wealth of Argentinawe usually relate them to the field. Products such as soybeans, corn, wheat, bovine meat and sunflower oil. In the last time, with the developments achieved, Vaca Muerta in the south of the country became the main protagonist since it provides the possibility of exporting oil and gas. To this also joined the lithium, in the north, a key resource for the future of the energy transition. But mining has just taken a huge leap. Argentina could become rich.
A revolutionary finding
Experts have just discovered an unprecedented treasure in mining within the Argentine territory. This finding located in the area near the border between Argentina and Chile, could change the rules of the game and reposition Argentina strategically worldwide. Since with these resources it could be transformed into one of the main suppliers of the planet.
This revolutionary finding was possible thanks to the studies carried out by specialists from the area of the hand of Canadian company Lundin Mining and the Australian BHP. They are already working in the country with the mining company called Vicuña. Recently they announced the results obtained and the surprise was huge, there are tons and tons.
The great wealth found places this site in one of the largest global. It is a colossal deposit of valuable minerals such as copper, gold and silver. This unexpected discovery generated great expectation in the world of mining since we are facing the greatest copper exploration of the last 30 years.
The key points: Sun edge and José María
The projects Filo del Sol and Josemaría belong to Mining Vicuña. They are located within the Argentine province of San Juan, to the west of the country. Although a part of Sun’s edge reaches the Chilean region of Atacama. They are found in different stages. The first of the deposits is in the exploration phase, the second is still in preconstruction.
The Filo del Sol mine stands out especially since it represents one of the open -pit copper projects with greater law not yet developed in the world, to this it is added that it is one of the greatest gold and silver resources worldwide. While Josemaría has a high degree of concentration of valuable metals.
The numbers speak only. The results of these mines showed a content of 13 million tons of certified copper in addition to another 25 million tons inferred. They follow him 32 million measured goldwhich increase to 49 million ounces when the inferred resources are added. The estimate also requires 659 million measured silver. With this Vicuña is among the ten main resources of the world,
From Argentina for the world
Vicuña’s agreement between the two companies is especially strategic. According to the recent statement issued, they aim to achieve the maximum use of the synergies between the Filo del Sol and Josemaría deposits, due to the particular physical closeness between both points. This proximity would allow optimizing shared infrastructure and allowing staggered expansions.
With this revolutionary finding the country could make that great leap that needs and really could improve its strategic position in the region and its economic situation. With this form of integration work of both deposits under the same operational strategy, Vicuña will be able to advance rapidly to achieve the exploitation of these valuable natural resources. With the development of infrastructure, reducing costs and accelerating production to The growth of the mining sector. This extraordinary reservation is called world class because its characteristics have export quality. This was just what we needed.
