The governor of Mendoza, Alfredo Cornejo, received a delegation from NMDC Limited, the largest mining company in India and one of the most important state-owned companies in Asia, interested in learning about the investment opportunities offered by the province in the sectors of mining and energy.
During the meeting, provincial authorities presented the development of Malargüe Western Mining District (MDMO), the Mendoza energy strategy, and the policies implemented to provide legal security and predictability to investors.
Mendoza showcased its mining and energy potential
The meeting allowed NMDC representatives to learn about Mendoza's geological potential and the main projects promoted by the provincial government.
One of the central themes was the Malargüe Western Mining District, an area of approximately 20,000 square kilometers and 703,000 hectares with significant potential for the exploration of copper and other strategic minerals linked to the energy transition.
The company also received information about other initiatives related to energy development and the utilization of natural resources that are part of the province's economic growth plan.
Cornejo emphasized clear rules to attract investments
During the meeting, Cornejo stated that Mendoza is working to develop modern mining, with environmental controls and favorable conditions to attract long-term investments.
"We are doing very important work to develop mining with all the necessary environmental care, but also to develop an economic activity that the province did not have and that has enormous potential," he said.
The governor also highlighted the importance of offering predictability to companies interested in investing.
"We want to move as quickly as possible. We know that the activity will grow, and we must be prepared. We have a lot of information to provide them so they can make decisions," he noted.
