It is two hours by car to the south from the nearest community, Perito Moreno, and six hours by car to the southwest from Comodoro Rivadavia, where the nearest commercial airport with flights to Buenos Aires is located. Newmont Cerro Negro has three high-grade underground mines – Eureka, Mariana Central, and Marina Norte – and two underground deposits – Emilia, which reached commercial production in 2022, and San Marcos, which is currently under development.
