Note 13B of Navitas' financial report reveals that, following the approval of the development plan in December 2025, the Malvina Islands colonial government granted them an automatic 35-year extension of the production license .
This means that the consortium is guaranteed the right to plunder Argentina's resources uninterruptedly until the 2060s. It is not a temporary exploration project; it is the definitive economic colonization of the basin for more than three decades.
Drilling under environmental laws from 30 years ago
