Argentina Country Update

Western Argentina. along the Andes mountain range, is by a tectonic subducting zone. Magma bodies inthe upper levels of the lithosphere of the oveniding plate cause the high-temperature anomalies observed in the region. On the other hand, the Andes there are many moderate to low thermal anomalies. Because of these general possibilities exist in Argentina for investing in the development of the geothermel resources of the country. On-going studies in Argentina have surveyed many thermal manifestation areas and identified some important geothermal fields. The Geothermal Department of the Argentine Secretary of Mining is assessing the country's geothermal then will be transferred to the private sector, includingopportunities for foreign investment.
