Colombia a bastian of political good sense vs SA neighbours

Thanx for the post!  Mining is a risky business all on its own...having equal to or greater political risk is something that investors need to assess more going forward.  Much of this has been exacerbated by covid and indebted governments.  Columbia appears solid until it isnt hah

Indeed the future is never certain. Colombia's good political track record for at least a couple of generations is no guarantee of the future. But it suggests a fairly enlightened electorate. And they have a very clear example right next door of exactly what NOT to do.

All depends where you are mining Gorilladome47. Look at what went on in Satander province 5 years or so back. The climatologists questioned damage to the Purima climate zone and shut down a couple of mines. Even the ones that were below that were harassed and activists held huge rallies and disrupted proceedings and some mining companies were not allowed a defense. Highly over blown and shut
