History
Entrance to Río Turbio

The company was founded 1958 and it existed until 1994, when it was privatised and renamed as Yacimientos Carboníferos Río Turbio S.A..[3]

Prior to the creation of YCF, Argentina used to import coal. This became a problem during World War II, when a severe shortage caused problems to such key sectors as industry and transport. Production peaked in 1972 when it reached 570,000 tons.

The coal was mined in Rio Turbio and transported to the port city of Rio Gallegos.
