Vicuña copper project awards access road contracts via San Juan after La Rioja dispute

Vicuña, Argentina's largest copper project, has awarded contracts to build a 63.6 km access road through San Juan province, following a conflict with La Rioja over the route. The two-year construction will create about 300 jobs, while the Riojan route remains in use for the project's life. This marks a concrete step in de-risking the project's logistics after inter-provincial friction.
