Mining in Colombia has been considered the engine of economic growth, with the purpose of providing sustainable income to the state, in such a way that economic goals such as GDP, unemployment and exchange rate control are achieved by governments. According to the Mining Code of 1988, the Mining Law was consolidated within the mining political concept in which mining would be an industry of national interest in which the Colombian State would participate in the business scheme, for which the mining titling would be carried out in the form of contracts in areas of Mining Contribution, one of the different classes of mining titles. Based on the laws and the economic objective, the country delivered between 2004 and 2010 the largest volume of licenses, concessions and authorizations for mining exploitation, policies headed by the Ministry of Mines and Energy, whose additional purpose was the eradication of illegality in the exploitation of mining activity.
