Projects
Our exploration portfolio spans 146,728 hectares across the Malargüe District in one of Argentina's most prospective copper-gold corridors.

Province of Mendoza
Argentina Metals is focusing on Mendoza exclusively, a province re-opening to mining after three decades of political and legal closure.
For 30 years, political and legal obstacles kept Mendoza factually closed for mining. That era is ending.
The provincial government is so supportive it has established a state agency, Impulsa Mendoza, to fund environmental impact assessments for exploration and development companies, beginning in the Western Malargüe Mining District where Argentina Metals operates.
In December 2025, parliament and senate approved with a large majority the environmental assessment of the San Jorge project, a future copper mine that had been blocked for many years. At the same time, Kobrea Exploration received the permits to begin its first drilling campaign at El Perdido, only 1.5 km from Argentina Metals' Las Estrellas project. Mendoza is back in mining.
Malargüe District
Most of our licenses sit within the Malargüe District, with the majority in the Western Malargüe Mining District, where environmental licenses are preapproved. An initial exploration campaign has targeted our Las Estrellas license in the north, adjacent to Kobrea Exploration's El Perdido project, with a copper porphyry target now confirmed in its northern part.
Water in Mendoza
The availability of water is significantly better in Mendoza than other provinces of Argentina. This is helping with CAPEX and the realization of larger mining projects.
