The international mining industry is once again turning its attention to Mendoza: the province has been selected as the official host of the first Argentina Rocks, the conference that brings together geologists, exploration specialists, mining companies, investors and technology providers from across the country and around the world.
The event, scheduled for May 27 and 28 at the Sheraton Mendoza Hotel, is organized by Latin Rocks, an initiative with more than a decade of experience creating specialized technical spaces in major mining regions across Latin America.
Argentina Rocks is a conference focused on geological knowledge, the generation of technical information and the strategic analysis of the early stages of mining projects. Exploration is approached not as an operational activity, but as the scientific and technical foundation upon which the future of the industry is built.
At this stage, geological data is generated, subsurface knowledge is developed and the technical foundations needed to evaluate the feasibility of future productive projects are established. Without investment and development in exploration, it is impossible to plan for a sustainable mining industry in the long term.
The Strategic Value of Geology
The objective of this conference is to highlight geology as the foundation of all mining activity. Argentina Rocks will bring together the leading players in the sector — geologists, executives, investors and specialized suppliers — to discuss new discoveries, opportunities and challenges that will shape the future of exploration in the country.
It will serve as a meeting point where technical knowledge, professional experience and strategic vision come together to strengthen the foundations of mining from its earliest stages.
Technical Agenda and Specialized Networking
Over two days, attendees will be able to participate in technical conferences, discussion panels, poster sessions and networking spaces. There will also be an exhibition featuring leading companies driving innovation and technological development applied to mining exploration.
The program is designed to support both professional development and the creation of strategic connections among companies, consultants, investors and technical teams.
In addition, technical courses will be offered in Mendoza and San Juan as hands-on learning opportunities and direct engagement with top-level specialists, strengthening knowledge exchange in a highly specialized environment.
Technical Information for a Stronger Industry
In a global context where minerals such as copper, gold and silver are experiencing growing demand, Argentina Rocks seeks to provide clarity through technical data and professional analysis. The conference aims to contribute to a more transparent industry, supported by solid information that helps reduce uncertainty and build confidence in the development of new projects.
The combination of presentations, professional exchange and training activities positions Argentina Rocks as a leading space where the future of mining exploration is discussed and projected.
A Meeting Point for New Opportunities
Argentina Rocks 2026 is aimed at geologists, technical teams, mining companies, specialized suppliers, consultants, academic institutions and investors linked to the early stages of mining projects. It will be a space where knowledge, collaboration and business opportunities converge.
The invitation is open to companies and professionals who want to be part of this first edition in Argentina, positioning their brand and expertise at the center of the mining exploration ecosystem.
With this new edition, Mendoza strengthens its role as a host for international technical events and as a meeting point between geological knowledge, investment and productive development.
