阿根廷的矿产资源和矿业开发

Mineral Resources and Mineral Development in Argentina

阿根廷矿产资源丰富,矿业开发和利用程度较低,具有较大的找矿和开发潜力。通过长期在阿根廷从事地质调查和矿业开发的工作实践,结合大量的文献资料,笔者简述了阿根廷优势矿产资源的矿床类型、地理分布和典型矿床概况以及最新的矿业开发和矿产品产量。归纳总结了阿根廷矿业投资的有利因素和不利因素,指出了最具有找矿潜力和远景的矿产是安第斯造山带的斑岩型铜金矿、低温热液型金矿和普纳高原的卤水型锂钾矿。对主要省份的矿业潜力和政策进行了简述,提出了开发利用阿根廷优势矿产资源的建议。

Argentina is rich in mineral resources, but the levels of development and utilization of mineral resources are relatively low, so there is great potential for mineral prospecting and exploitation. Based on the long-term practice experience of geological survey and mineral development in Argentina, and combining with a large amount of literatures, in this paper we briefly describe the mineral deposit types, distribution and typical deposits of the superior mineral resources as well as the recent mineral development and production in Argentina, summarize the favorable and unfavorable factors of mining investment in Argentina, and point out that the prospecting targets with the greatest potential are porphyry copper-gold and epithermal gold deposits in the Andean orogenic belt and brine type lithium-potassium deposits in Puna Plateau. We also briefly describe the mining potential and policy of major provinces, and put forward some suggestions for development and utilization of the superior mineral resources in Argentina.
