Experts warn of civil unrest in Argentina as it readies to lift ban on open pit mining

Posted by ipso facto @ 18:16 on February 13, 2018  

Argentina’s national government is pressing ahead with its intentions to make of mining one of the pillars of job creation, and it’s holding talks with the leaders of the three provinces that declined to sign a 2017 mining act, which harmonizes taxes and regulations in hopes of attracting investment.

Mining secretary, Daniel Meilán, told local paper El Diario that the government wants the leaders of Chubut, La Pampa and La Rioja, to adopt federal mining regulations and reactivate major projects that have been halted for years.

Among those proposed mines currently stalled is Canada’s Pan American Silver’s (TSX:PAAS)Navidad project in Chubut, which has been on hold since 2013, when it ran afoul of provincial rules banning the use of cyanide and open-pit mining
