Why Colombia? [ 6 ] • Colombia is considered to be among the world's most desirable destinations for mineral exploration and development, as it is rated 1st globally in terms of geologic potential. It is the most secure Latin American country to • business , and has the 2nd best investor protection in Latin America . • Colombia is ranked 3rd in South America for "Policy Potential" , which measures the effects of government policies on exploration, including mining codes, taxation, security, political security and infrastructure. • Has a stable democracy with a 98% Presidential approval rating, as the U Party was elected for its third term in 2010. • Since the 2002 election of President Alvaro Uribe, Colombia has experienced huge improvements in security conditions, and civil unrest no longer prevents exploration of the area. • By 2012 around US$8.8 billion in self-funded infrastructural projects have been completed in Colombia, and it is now the 5th largest economy in Latin America.
