May 24, 2024--Written by Amir Richani for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Argentina is upping its efforts to become a copper powerhouse, with its Mendoza province recently joining the Salta, Catamarca and San Juan provinces in developing the nation's copper-mining potential. Earlier this year, the governors of these provinces and representatives from Argentina's Ministerio de Energía y Minería met with their European counterparts to seek investments in copper, lithium and other commodities.

Argentine President Javier Milei also is working to attract international investment in the nation's mining industry, which already is the world's third-largest producer of lithium. Recently, Milei has been holding meetings with figures like Elon Musk.
