The Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada Convention (PDAC) is much more than a trade show-it is the world's most important mining convention, where governments, companies, and investors come together to discuss trends and close deals. Each year, more than 27,000 attendees from 125 countries gather at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, with over 1,300 exhibitors and 700 industry speakers.


In March 2026, the Argentine delegation played a leading role at this global event, headed by the Secretary Coordinator of Energy and Mining, Daniel González, accompanied by the Secretary of Mining, Luis Lucero, and the head of the Investment Agency, Diego Sucalesca. More than 300 public and private representatives traveled to showcase the country's potential and attract investment in copper, lithium, gold, and silver-key minerals for the global energy transition.


During Argentina Day, González emphasized that mining projects have extremely long development cycles and only reach Final Investment Decision (FID) when regulatory approvals and stability are in place. In this context, he highlighted the importance of the Incentive Regime for Large Investments (RIGI), which provides fiscal and monetary predictability for up to 30 years-an essential condition for attracting capital to large-scale projects.


The official also presented more than a dozen projects already approved under this regime, along with several under evaluation, representing billions of dollars in potential investment. Argentina, he explained, has a portfolio of more than 100 projects at different stages of development, particularly in the northern regions of the country, where lithium and copper are drawing strong interest from major international funds.


Argentina's presence at PDAC 2026 was not limited to government representation. Mining provinces showcased their progress in infrastructure, connectivity, and environmental sustainability, while local companies strengthened ties with investors from North America, Europe, and Asia. The message was clear: Argentina is open to the world and ready to compete for responsible, long-term investment.


PDAC serves as a global barometer for the mining sector: mergers, exploration projects, and public policies that shape the future of mining are announced there. Participating in this event means visibility, access to financing, and international validation. Amid growing demand for critical minerals, the country aims to position itself as a reliable supplier, with clear rules and a strategic vision for sustainable development.

Through its participation and its network of relationships with key industry stakeholders-companies, investors, suppliers, and authorities-Bluemoon continues to strengthen bridges between the global mining ecosystem and the opportunities the country offers.
