In 2016, the Colombian Vice Minister of Mines enacted Resolution No 40391 to approve the National Mining Policy. This roadmap seeks to implement strategies aiming to develop a more competitive and productive mining industry. The Colombian Government is pursuing fostering an organised, legitimate, inclusive and competitive industry.

The following are the policy’s pillars:

Legal certainty : Have a clear and stable legal framework for the development of the sector.

Competitive conditions : Promote competitive conditions for the mining industry, which guarantee that minerals can be extracted. Receiving revenue from taxes and royalties and creating the employment needed by the country. Allowing the efficient development of the industry.

Legitimate trust : Generate a relationship of mutual trust between the government, industry and mining communities.

Infrastructure : Manage the expansion and modernisation of the existing transportation infrastructure.

Information : Expand knowledge about the Colombian territory from a geological-mining point of view, as well as the mining information systems that support the development of the activity.

Strengthened and efficient mining institutions : Improve the mining authority efficiency levels in aspects such as response times and process agility.

This policy is mandatory for the Colombian Ministry of Mine and Energy and the entities that have agreed to follow it.

Oil Industry Braces for Years-Long Iran War

Oil producers, traders, and refiners are bracing for a prolonged war between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf with little to no hope of a quick resolution.

Reuters’ Clyde Russell reported this week that the mood at APPEC was not particularly cheerful as hostilities in the Middle East escalate once again, suggesting achieving peace would be quite a challenge. The Reuters columnist…

Stolen Electricity is Powering Illegal Crypto Farms Across the Globe

Electricity theft is a global problem, and it’s getting more dire all the time. While the problem is most common in developing countries, where grid infrastructure is limited and utilities and state authorities have lower oversight capacities, developed countries are not immune either. This theft can occur in many forms and at many scales, from individuals tapping into power lines to power their individual residences to large-scale and sophisticated theft schemes to power entire cryptocurrency mining farms. Just this week, Mexican authorities…

Iran’s Security Crackdown Runs Into Resistance From Within

Iran's parliament is trying to turn fears of foreign infiltration into law. But as lawmakers work through the legislation, the debate is exposing an increasingly awkward question for the Islamic Republic: How far should the state go in policing Iranians' contact with the outside world? At the center of that debate is Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who, at least publicly, is doing a balancing act. He has defended the need for tougher measures against foreign infiltration while warning that the current draft of the legislation goes too…

Why More Homes Are Switching From Gas to Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to gas-powered central heating systems and are increasingly being used in new construction, often driven by government incentives. A heat pump uses technology similar to that found in a refrigerator or an air conditioner, extracting heat from a source, such as the surrounding air, and amplifying and transferring the heat to where it is needed. As most of the heat is transferred rather than generated, heat pumps are far more efficient than conventional heating technologies such as boilers…
