Minas Argentinas Sets Feb. 12 Dollar Bond Debut to Fund 51‑MWp San Luis Solar Plant

Strong local credit marks underpin the miner’s first step into Argentina’s capital market.

Overview

  • The company will offer a Class 1 negotiable obligation on Feb. 12 for up to US$12 million, with the program expandable to US$22 million in future placements.
  • The note will be dollar‑denominated, subscribed and paid in Argentina with a fixed annual rate to be auctioned and a 12‑month maturity.
  • Proceeds will partially finance Parque Solar Calicanto, a 51 MWp photovoltaic project in Belgrano, San Luis, with a total budget of US$36.8 million.
  • The project has executed US$10.5 million and procured more than 80,000 panels and equipment, with mounting slated for March and start‑up expected before the end of 2026, and over half of output pre‑contracted.
  • Balanz Capital Valores SAU and Inviu SAU will arrange the placement, Fix SCR affirmed A+(arg) with Stable Outlook and assigned A1(arg) to the short‑term issue, and the move aligns with a RIGI‑backed investment of over US$650 million at Gualcamayo.
