New Resolution Creates Strategic Reserve Area in Antioquia

Mining attorney Estefanny Pardo presented a radio program in partnership with La Voz Minera EMG titled "Minería al Día con Estefanny Pardo." In this episode, Ms. Pardo analyzes Resolution 1301 of May 11, 2025, issued by the National Mining Agency, which creates new reserve areas for mining formalization in the municipality of Juradó, Antioquia. She explains the legal origin of these areas under Law 1753 of 2015 and their connection to the formalization of small-scale miners. She also raises questions regarding the legal clarity of this resolution, particularly about the timelines established by the earlier Resolution 075 of 2023 and whether this new regulation implies an indefinite restriction of these zones. Ms. Pardo emphasizes the importance of this designation in combating illegal mining but also warns of the challenges involved in its effective and transparent implementation.
