Argentina's mining sector holds some of the largest potential for development in the Americas region. Large natural resources and minimal historical mining presence suggest that major mineral deposits are still to be discovered. We forecast Argentina's mining sector value to increase from US$27.5bn in 2012 to US$49.8bn by 2016, representing average annual growth of 15.7%. We are forecasting strong growth in output of gold, silver and copper over this period, driven by elevated prices for these minerals. The mining sector faces major risks, however, as the economic environment in Argentina is increasingly uncertain and likely to deteriorate.

Copper production is also a bright spot in the country given aggressive expansion plans by Kazakhmys and Rio Tinto's commitment to invest US$100mn in exploring northern Kazakhstan for copper.
