Mining companies in Argentina

Argentina's Registro Nacional de Sociedades lists 3,817 companies in mining and quarrying (ISIC section B), all of them active, which is 0.3% of all Argentine records in the LatSouth build (data as of 2026-09-18). By province, Ciudad Autonoma Buenos Aires leads with 908 (24% of the section), followed by Salta (419) and Neuquen (404). The largest divisions are 09 (mining support service activities, 1,810) and 08 (other mining and quarrying, 1,561); 3 further divisions complete it.

A small section by count with high-value accounts: mine operators, quarries, sand and gravel pits, oil and gas producers and the service companies around them. Division 08 (quarrying) usually has the most rows; 09 (support services) is where drilling and engineering contractors register. Chile and Peru are the copper economies; Brazil, Argentina and Colombia add iron ore, lithium, oil and coal. In Argentina, 100% of these rows carry an ISIC class; the registry publishes no size field; the registry publishes no website or e-mail; 173 were registered in the 12 months before the extraction. Argentina publishes no company status, so 'active' means at least one active activity row; the 28% of Argentine companies with an unmapped legacy code fall outside every ISIC section.
