International Financing - Mining

An estimated US$5 billion will be invested in Argentina’s extractive industries between 2005 and 2010, bringing with it increased environmental and social impacts. CEDHA’s mining webpage is a resource to further understanding of the environmental and financial normative framework that governs the mining industry in Argentina, to provide links to guidelines and international initiatives, in addition to information on current projects and export credit agency involvement.
