    Over 1.500 companies were operating in Argentina's mining sector in 2016

    Ninety per cent of the operations take place at open pit mines with metallic minerals making up 73.1% of the production

    Argentina last polled its mining sector a decade ago but this month some results from a census carried out in 2016 were made public. The Indec document available online says that over 1,500 mining companies were operating in Argentina in 2016. Their extractive activities generated US$ 1,329 million while their processing activities generated US$ 2,386 million.
