Traceable gold supply chains in Colombia

Gold in Colombia passes through many hands. Minario maps each actor, the institution it answers to and the evidence it must keep, so every bar can prove where it came from.

How Minario works in Colombia

A 90-second overview of the Colombian supply chain, its institutions and how Minario controls each step.

Video narrated in Spanish.

The chain

The actors of the Colombian gold chain

  • Subsistence miners
  • Mining title holders
  • Processing plants
  • Authorised traders
  • International trading companies
  • Refineries

Institutions

Each actor answers to an institution

Minario keeps this map as configurable data: each actor with its credential, each credential with its institution, each rule with its source.

National Mining Agency (ANM)

Runs RUCOM and the Mineral Traceability Platform.

Mayors' offices

Register subsistence miners in Génesis.

DIAN

Tax authority: electronic invoicing.

UIAF and Supersociedades

Anti-money-laundering controls under SAGRILAFT.

How Minario controls the chain

From the purchase counter to the national platform

  1. 1

    Purchase

    Checks the buyer's valid RUCOM certificate, requires the origin certificate or production declaration, and controls the 420 g annual cap for subsistence miners. If a requirement is missing, the purchase does not proceed.

  2. 2

    Smelting

    The output bar inherits the origin of every input bar, with loss control against tolerance.

  3. 3

    Sale

    Assembles the file and prepares the records for a technology operator to send to the Agency's platform.
