Colombia is a country full of geological riches, committed to transforming mining into a pillar of the economy while promoting the fulfillment of the highest environmental standards and the development of its communities. With growth at high rates during the last decade, due to the confidence and business opportunities that investors have found in this emerging market, mining plays a major role in the Colombian economy.

With a geological base of coal, nickel, gold, platinum, emeralds, limestone, salt, clay, silica sand, copper and manganese ores and gypsum, among other discoveries, the government is committed to expanding this sector and welcomes foreign investment. Colombia is the number one producer of emeralds worldwide and the number one producer of thermal coal in Latin America. In recent years the country has experienced an increase in gold exploration and other base metals.

During Colombia Day at PDAC, attendees will hear about the country’s mining potential from key governmental delegates. Government entities including the Ministry of Mines and Energy and the consolidated mining authority, the National Mining Agency , will discuss the achievements of the past year and their commitment to generating a more efficient investment environment for the sector while promoting mining development focused on social and environmental responsibility. There will also be special presentations on some of the most promising mining projects for 2014.

Expected participants will include representatives of leading mining companies, investors, suppliers and government officials who will share their experiences and insights in regards to the country´s mining sector.
