Borax Argentina

Company profile

Borax Argentina company profile

Borax Argentina has been in operation for over 50 years, and operates three open pit mines in Tincalayu, Sijes, and Porvenir, concentration plants in Tincalayu, Sijes and Porvenir (currently unused), and refinery facilities in Campo Quijano. Additionally, the deposits at Diablillos and Ratones are essentially undeveloped. The refinery operations currently produce a variety of boron chemical products, including boric acid, borax decahydrate, borax pentahydrate, anhydrous borax and boroglas from concentrates and ulexite minerals carted from the mines and concentrators. In addition, the mine and concentrator at Sijes produce mineral concentrates for direct sale. Current production comes from boron mineralisation on which there are historical estimates. Borax Argentina owns one of only a few important borate deposits globally that are in production. The purchase of Borax Argentina provides an opportunity to acquire this significant quantity of historically estimated boron mineralisation at an attractive valuation.
