Argentina mining exports up 4.3% in 2023 as industry confidence grows

Argentina's mining exports grew 4.3% in 2023 over the year, driven by lithium, an industry group said on Friday, expressing confidence that the country's ample metals and minerals deposits can help lift the economy from a prolonged crisis. Exports reached $4.032-billion last year, Roberto Cacciola, president of the Argentine Chamber of Mining Entrepreneurs (CAEM), said in a meeting with journalists late on Thursday.
