Resumen
With the reform of the Salta Mining Procedures Code of 2014, the province formalizes the mechanism to make Article 346 of the Mining Code effective, referring to the right of the provinces to create geological research zones or areas of special interest within their territories, for the purposes of exploration and recognition of the same to determine the existence and potential of its natural resources. From that moment, it is defined how the Mining Court, the mining authority in the province, interacts with the state mining company (REMSA SA) so that it has the option of creating the aforementioned special interest zones. And, as of the creation of the same, a public tender begins, with pre-established terms and scope, so that interested third parties can present their projects in order to become awardee in these areas.
