Argentina is currently the world’s fourth-largest producer of lithium and has positioned itself to be one of the world’s fastest-growing sources of lithium this decade. Argentina is also one of the leading countries globally for the development of new copper resources, with an estimated 75.5 million metric tons of copper reserves. There are many lithium and copper projects available for investment across several provinces in Argentina. The Government of Argentina recently passed a new Large Investment Incentive Scheme (RIGI) to attract large-scale capital investments into strategic sectors, including mining.
