Argentina's CAMYEN restructuring and Chile's Corfo‑Codelco mining partnership

The Argentine Senate gave partial approval to a bill that would convert Catamarca Minera y Energética (CAMYEN) from a state‑owned company into a single‑shareholder corporation, while the province retains 100% ownership. The reform would let CAMYEN acquire, transfer, or lease mining rights, create an active transparency portal, and align the firm with the national corporate law.

In Chile, the development agency Corfo and state copper giant Codelco agreed to deepen their cooperation under the Integrated Territorial Mining Program for the Valparaíso region. The alliance seeks to strengthen local suppliers, accelerate digital and clean‑technology adoption, and develop advanced human capital to make mining more competitive and sustainable.
