Central Puerto, through its subsidiary Proener S.A.U. expands its participation in AbraSilver Resource Corp., a company listed on the Canadian Stock Exchange and owner of the Diablillos (gold and silver) mining projects in Salta and La Coipita (copper) in San Juan. With this new investment, Central Puerto becomes the largest shareholder of AbraSilver, with a 9.9% stake.

The Diablillos project, 100% owned by AbraSilver, is one of the most important gold and silver developments in Argentina. The company has recently completed a successful private placement reaching a total of 58.5 million in financing, aimed at accelerating the progress of the project, with a special objective of carrying out the Feasibility Study (FS) and reaching 2026 in conditions to begin construction of the plant. In this regard, Fernando Bonnet, CEO of Central Puerto, stated:” This investment reaffirms our commitment to the development of mining in Argentina and consolidates our objective of positioning ourselves as a key player in the production of precious metals. By increasing our shareholding, we support the growth of this project and contribute to the economic development of the region. Diablillos represents a unique opportunity for the region and our company, as it has high-grade gold and silver reserves and significant production potential.”

Central Puerto has advanced its diversification strategy towards the mining sector with key investments in strategic projects. In 2024, it entered into the capital of AbraSilver, strengthening its presence in the precious metals sector. Subsequently, it expanded its participation in the lithium industry with the acquisition of a significant shareholding in the company 3C Lithium, owner of the Tres Cruces project in Catamarca. In addition, it launched an ambitious project to supply electricity to lithium production in the Argentine Northwest, through the construction of the electrical interconnection line to the Argentine electrical system, consolidating an alliance with YPF Luz.
