The governor of Catamarca, Lucía Corpacci defended mining activity and held she established limitations to the activity with the companies working in the field since mining is important for the province's progress rather than its deterioration.

Clear rules, clear information on the real environmental impact is all that is requested, emphasized Corpacci.

She also blamed the media on misinformation and assured that water is not contaminated by mining development in Catamarca. She pronounced herself in favor of mining as a sustainable activity that fosters local progress.
