Why Mexico?
Mexico presents one of the best places in the world for mineral exploration and mining. Here's why:
- Political and financial stability
- 100% foreign ownership of assets allowed
- Easy and economical access from anywhere in North America
- Modern and growing infrastructure for communications and transportation
- An emerging economic powerhouse
- Educated and skilled labor force
- Detailed, current and accessible government geological database
Mexico's GDP growth hit 1.1% in 2013, after 3.9% in 2012 and 5.5% in 2011. The strong economy has kept Mexicans at home or returning to home. A recent article in Wall Street Journal noted that the net rate of migration of Mexican workers to the United States has recently fallen to zero. The biggest driver of this growth has been exports, mostly to the U.S. Also, construction in Mexico has expanded dramatically, pointing to longer-term prosperity.
