Well we should change the headline to ARGENTINA CONSIDERED ONE OF THE TOP ELEVEN COUNTRIES FOR INVESTING... or ARGENTINA CONSIDERED A FAR BETTER INVESTMENT COUNTRY FOR COPPER MINING INVESTMENT THAN THE CONGO...
Other suggested headlines could be ARGENTINIANS ARE MORE TRUSTWORTHY THAN NIGERIANS...

Or we can also say that Argentina is at the bottom list of the 15 world´s main copper producers countries....or that is at the same level that Mongolia, PRC or Papua Guinea.....All of those sentences are right, anyway....

Given the dramatic increases in wages over the last 10 years and the diminishing ore quality it is good news indeed that we are still so highly ranked – 32% of the global total of projects in the next decade! That is impressive.

Further good news is that in the last 10 years we have reduced our dependence on copper. In 2002 it accounted for 60% of exports, now it is below 50%. In the next 10 years we must push this even lower by diversifying more.
