Mining in Colombia

Event presentations

Colombia offers enormous potential for mining development with 80 percent of unexplored territory. With a flourishing business environment, its mining industry is following the path of other Latin American territories attracting the attention and money of global investors.

In June 2011, PwC hosted two events in Toronto and Vancouver to discuss mining opportunities in Colombia and to learn how regulations and processes are changing with the exponential growth of its mining industry.
