El objetivo de la cámara es declarar inconstitucional la legislación vigente que paraliza varios de los emprendimientos , que son fuertemente rechazados por la ciudadanía , como por ejemplo el caso de Sierra Pintada en San Rafael , Don Sixto en Malargüe o San Jorge en Uspallata . La CAMEM ya se presentó en la legislatura y en la justicia , además en algunos sectores del ejecutivo para avanzar en un programa de una " Mendoza minera ", buscando rediscutir el alcance de la Ley 7.722 .

La CAMEM alertó sobre la pérdida de puestos laborales con la salida de Vale y los 400 mendocinos que se quedaron sin trabajo por la paralización de Pascua- Lama en San Juan .
