During the conferences, the belief that gold will continue to be a safe haven for investment was on the words of all the experts. One of the most relevant analyses for Argentina, as an mainly explorer country was that of Nicholas Holland, CEO of Gold Fields, who stressed that exploration is "the best way of adding value to a company" and that it is through exploration that companies can "discover gold at 20 to 30 US per ounce, when this number can be multiplied by 20 when acquiring assets". from its part, Michael Steinman VP Executive, Geology from Pan American Silver -Platinum Sponsor for Argentina Mining 2010- highlighted the need to increase numbers of geology and mining engineering students for renewing technical staffs.
