Developments in the regulatory landscape will be a key theme in CGS Medellin 2022 given that Colombia has a new government which wants to do things differently in terms of mining, the environment and communities.
To this end, I am pleased to welcome Claudia Jimenez of GDIAM who will speak about mining coexistence and the opportunity for community development, while Juan Camilo Nariño of the ACM will discuss strategies to advance mining with the Gustavo Petro administration. Jorge Jaramillo, the Secretary of Mines of Antioquia, will also talk about the future of mining in Antioquia, the principle gold producing region of Colombia, which also has copper potential.
The Environment session (see above) is a must-see and features presentations about leading-edge concepts, technologies and processes that mining and exploration companies are adopting to go the extra mile in meeting their environmental obligations. These are the type of things that companies in the region will increasingly have to do to obtain a social license to operate and convince regulators that they deserve the opportunity to build a mine.
We have a number of great sponsors this year. Our PLATINUM sponsors are Globexplore Drilling, ALS GLobal, Cordoba Minerals, Oil Red Chevron and Zijin-Continental, who will ensure that CGS Medellin 2022 will have the wonderful networking events the event is well-known for.
I would also like to welcome and thank the most recent sponsors for coming on board and supporting the event: FTI Consulting, Bureau Veritas, Target Directional, SHI, GoldMining, Orica, Outcrop Silver & Gold, KPMG and Dentons Cardenas.
CGS Medellin 2022 will also feature a commercial exhibit with more than 30 stands for you to check out.
