Argentina expects to export $12.1 billion worth of lithium and $20.6 billion worth of copper in 10 years, up from $6 billion in mining exports last year, according to mining minister Luis Lucero. The country could produce 580,000 tons of lithium carbonate equivalent and 1,641,000 tons of copper annually as President Milei's RIGI investment scheme attracts capital from BHP, Rio Tinto and other miners.
