18 GOING FORWARD

19 ANM S VISION FOR THE MINIG SECTOR Responsible mining through a virtous triangle.

20 SOCIAL CHALLENGES FOR MINING ACTIVITY

21 CONTRIBUTION OF THE ANM Good practices

22 Source: Centro Nacional de Consultoría Brújula Minera, 2014 THE PERCEPTION ABOUT MINING IS CHANGING Within the next years, 63% of mining companies intend to expand operations 66% considers mining to be positive for the country Within the next 5 years Reduce operations Stay Expand operations 78% believe that well done mining generates development in the regions 63% believe that it is possible to have a socially responsible mining activity

23 MINING IS A KEY DRIVER FOR THE 4G INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT Between 2015 y 2020, a new boost in demand for building materials 939 mill Ton of steel 11 mill. M 3 of asphalt 12 mill. M 3 of concrete 3 mill. Ml of drain pipe

24 SUPPORTING MINING FEASIBILITY High level support of strategic projects CONPES PINES (3,762) Timely and effective management in order to make possible the future of Induprimas Peldar and Sumicol Corona Implementation of public works in roadway corridors, ports infrastructure, rivers and railways Supporting title owners in implementing social clauses

25 THE GOVERMENT IS IMPROVING THE PROCESS IN PRIOR CONSULTATION Improvement in prior consultation with the indigenous and Afrodescendant peoples Presidential Directive to implement a guide Inter-institutional Coordination Protocol (Decree 2613/2013) Creation of inter-institutional committees Simplification of process to obtain the certificate of presence of indigenous and Afro-descendant peoples (The Ministry of Interior) Expediting legalization of prior consultation. Now with The Ministry of Interior (before, with ANLA) In process, single window tool ( ventanilla única ) to follow environmental and social stages in projects.

26 STRATEGIC MINING AREAS Collaborative effort by several entities (Ministry of Mines, Geological Service, UPME, ANM) Support of World Bank in constructing tender methodology Data collection by the Colombian Geological Service Data diffusion policy Tender procedures (preparing information, launch and opening, qualification, award)
