Gold Mine Enhancement - Santander and Bolivar, Colombia

“ Olimining is currently in partnership with Colombian Mining Cooperatives that are in the process of standardising 12 concessions in the Santander Region of Colombia.”

Colombia has over 34 mining districts specialising in the extraction of precious metals. Olimining is currently working with Mining Solutions a mining company that focuses on sustainable development of the artisanal mining community. Mining Solutions have invested in the legal structure and enhancement of 12 concessions spanning across 30,000 hectares.

Olimining and Mining Solutions invest in artisanal mines in order to legalise operations by obtainiing mining licenses, export routes, and installing mining equipment to increase productivity and remove the use of mercury at the processing stage. The conglomeration of Latin American and Swiss expertise focusing primarily on the development of sustainable and legal practices, allows for artisanal miners to work safely, increase productivity, alleviate hazardous waste and provide ethical gold to the global markets at a fair price.

Our partnership also places emphasis on:

Equal Opportunity in the Workplace

Land-Reuse

Prohibition of Child-Labour

Olimining's work in Colombia has been facilitated by the central government, which will prohibit the use of mercury for the amalgamation of gold in mining operations for 2023. Working in collusion with mines, local authorities, exploration companies, mining equipment providers, multi-lateral development agencies and foreign investors, Olimining participates in the transformation of the landscape of artisanal gold mining in Colombia
