Colombia's Mining and Energy Ministry has extended a moratorium on the receipt of mining concession contract proposals and legalization of traditional miners until february 2012 to give state geological survey Ingeominas additional time to clear a backlog of requests.
The moratorium was initially enacted for a six-month period on 1 February 2011 to clear a backlog of 19,629 concession requests.
The extension means new contract proposals or concession contract transfers cannot be submitted until 2012.
