Special Mining Districts in Conflict with Temporary Reserves?
La Voz Minera EMG
Mining attorney Estefanny Pardo presented the radio program in partnership with La Voz Minera EMG titled “Minería al Día con Estefanny Pardo.” In this episode, Ms. Pardo analyzes Decree 977 of 2024, which outlines the matters related to mining districts in Colombia. She points out the potential contradiction in designating specific areas as mining districts while also proposing the establishment of temporary reserves where mining activities are prohibited. Ms. Pardo underscores the need to clarify the objectives of these special mining districts, given the uncertainty surrounding whether they will primarily promote mining or instead focus on conversion and reindustrialization. She concludes the discussion by looking at the goals of the decree, which include promoting the formalization of mining, facilitating productive conversion, demarcating exclusion zones from mining activities, engaging in socioenvironmental planning and pursuing reindustrialization based on strategic minerals.
