BHP's Vicuna JV files RIGI PEELP application as projects move toward 2030 development target
BHP Group's (ASX:BHP) Vicuna joint venture with Lundin Mining has lodged its application for Argentina's RIGI PEELP investment regime, covering the Josemaria and Filo del Sol copper-gold projects.
According to RBC Capital Markets analyst Kaan Peker, the submission marks a procedural step rather than a shift in project risk, noting that fiscal benefits are not yet assured and approval will hinge on government assessment, timing, and alignment with an integrated technical report due in the first quarter of 2026.
