Colombia has been characterized by offering national and foreign investors a stable legal environment and competitive economic terms. Additionally, ANM has been a benchmark for how mining in Colombia can be carried out in an orderly manner and in compliance with legal, environmental, social and responsibility standards to ensure the success of projects. Mining in Colombia is a strategic sector for the This means developing impact economic development of the strategies in order to ensure country.

In addition, it contributes about With the improvement of 20% of the royalties allocated to these and other actions, social investment.
The National Mining Agency works on the development of different technological systems we have created the new Mining Cadaster to strengthen the protection of the environment, legality and transparency.
This is the first time Colombia has an agile, efficient and transparent mining cadaster to delimit and protect territories for the sustainable development of mining activities in the country.
AnnA Minería will streamline procedures for the exploration and exploitation of resources in areas protected by the environmental authorities, from the moment of the request.
ANM carries out important work in favor of continuing to build an efficient and effective agency to enable the development of projects in a sustainable way thereby demystifying the mining activity in Colombia.
A dissemination strategy has been furthered in the regions, not only with environmental processes but also with coordination and Mining in Colombia is a concurrency activities. This is the manner in which we strive to bring strategic sector for the companies to the regions, through adequate social work for the economic development of the development of exploration.

In pursuance of the functions granted to the National Mining Agency - ANM (from its original Spanish language initials – Agencia Nacional de Minería) for the comprehensive administration of mineral resources owned by the State, as well as for the promotion and optimal and sustainable use of mining resources, ANM has been coordinating with the Ministry of Mines and Energy and the Colombian Geological Service – SGC (from its original Spanish language initials – Servicio Geológico Colombiano) to determine the country’s mining potential. A new contracting model is currently being design which seeks to improve the economic benefits for the nation and the regions, as compensation for the exploration and mining exploitation in the territory.

Three blocks have been defined in this area as SMAs as per Resolution of the Vice-presidency for Promotion - VPPF No 008 issued on February the 16th, 2021, wherein the following stands out:
For the acquisition of geoscientific information necessary to evaluate the potential of resources in the areas, the Directorate of Mineral Resources of the Colombian Geological Service carries out prospec- ting campaigns that include geological reconnaissance, geochemical sampling (active sediments, rocks, bedrock concentrates), acquisition of airborne and terrestrial geophysical information (magnetometry and gamma spectrometry), and metallogenic characterization of mineralizations.
The prospecting process to evaluate the mineral potential of copper and other metals in the area by the SGC was conducted between the years 2013 to 2019. These mineral prospecting campaigns allowed to obtain enough information on the aforementioned aspects, with which it was possible to identify a mineral potential for copper in the sectors studied. Definition of high potential
For the definition of high potential, the report presents the analysis carried out taking into account the following variables with their respective parameters for each of the districts evaluated:
Geophysics
Presence of lineaments and magnetic anomalies.
Geometric parameters of the magnetic bodies interpreted (dimensions, depth).
Presence of superficial changes in the composition of the soil with gamma spectrometry (e.g. high relative values of k).
Geology
Presence of adequate lithologies to host one or more types of mineralizations.
Structural geology favorable to the location of one or more styles of mineralization.
Field evidence of the presence of mineral occurrences. Geochemistry
Elemental associations with high absolute values that suggest the possible presence of mineralizing events both on the surface and in depth.
Metallogeny
Proximity to metallogenic districts (mineral districts) and presence of mineral deposits and occurrences.
Based on the information on areas with high potential to host strategic minerals provided by SGC, ANM defined the alignment of blocks 1, 2 and 3, in the free area resulting from the geographic analysis with respect to the areas that can be excluded from mining permits, requests, etc., and made the corresponding adjustment to the mining grid provided in the AnnA Mining geographic viewer.

For the evaluation of the mineral potential of each block, the Colombian Geological Service consider the evidence that the geological, geochemical, geophysical and metallogenic components could contribute on the probability that, within the area of each one of them, base metal and precious metal mineralizations could appear, which may be emerging or not. From the above, it was concluded that the southern sector of block 315 (block 315-1), presents a high mineral potential for the occurrence of base metal mineralizations (mainly copper), and that block 321 presents a medium mineral potential for the occurrence of copper mineralizations and associated precious metals. Given the geological, geochemical, geophysical and metallogenic characteristics, it is considered that the Perijá region has a greater potential to host “stratum-confined” mineralization of copper and precious metals.
