Venezuelan lawmakers began debating a bill proposed by acting President Delcy Rodriguez to regulate the country's mining industry and create conditions to attract more foreign investments.
The bill aims to generate confidence among foreign investors, some of whom lost assets through expropriations decades ago.
It partially mirrors a recently approved oil-industry reform that opened the door to privatisation.
It is the latest legislative action that Rodriguez has proposed since coming under pressure from the US Trump administration in January, when Washington deposed then-President Nicolas Maduro.
She announced the mining measure last week during the visit to Venezuela of the US Secretary of the Interior, Doug Burgum.
