 in December 2011 the provincial government repealed a law banning the use of cyanide in mineral processing, and the mine's owners regarded this as a positive development which is likely to bring increased investment.There are two main areas of tourism in the province; the Andes and the Atlantic coast.The most visited area is that of the lake district near San Carlos de Bariloche
inside the Nahuel Huapi National Park, and neighbouring Neuquén Province.
