A number of companies are pushing forward with large mining projects in Argentina, but many have faced stiff resistance. About eight provinces have banned open-pit mining and the use of chemicals common in the industry such as cyanide, effectively putting them off limits to large-scale mining projects.
However, a number of other provinces, including San Juan and Santa Cruz, are strongly in favor of the industry. Earlier this month, Rio Negro province joined La Rioja in lifting a ban on open-pit mining and the use of cyanide.
