Mrs Rinehart conducted a number of meetings at the trade show and toured the various  stands showcasing their equipment and technology from around the world. 

“Argentina is a country blessed by plentiful mineral resources, but until the election and reforms of President Milei it’s resources and mining industry had largely been undeveloped. President Javier Milei is changing this, introducing reforms at the national level, including cutting government tape for mining projects to encourage investment in Argentina.  Argentina under  President Milei has achieved in a short period of time to offer a very attractive environment for investing in mining projects, (and unlike in Australia, ) investment is rushing in and many projects are being progressed..  Mrs Rinehart observed.
