Colombia Government, Aris Mining to Formalize 4,000 Artisanal Miners

Colombia's government and Aris Mining agreed to formalize 4,000 artisanal miners in traditional mining municipalities (Segovia, Remedios, Marmato, Soto Norte). This marks a policy shift toward legalizing small-scale mining, potentially reducing conflict with illegal groups and improving regulatory oversight. Implementation details and timeline remain unspecified.
