First Quantum Minerals Plans to Apply for Argentina's RIGI Incentive for Taca Taca Copper Project

First Quantum Minerals plans to apply for Argentina's RIGI tax-break mechanism for its Taca Taca copper project by the end of 2026. The project, requiring an initial investment of $4.2 billion (potentially rising to $5.25 billion), is expected to produce approximately 209,000 metric tons of copper annually over a 35-year lifespan. This initiative aims to secure future copper supply and create significant employment opportunities, including up to 4,000 construction jobs and 2,000 operating roles.
