Buriticá Gold Mine is a world-class, ultra-high-grade, large gold mine and Colombia's first modern underground gold operation. It has been designated by the Colombian government as a project of national strategic importance. The mine has the capacity to produce more than 8.5 tonnes of gold per year. It is advancing quality and profitability improvements, technical upgrades and science-based development. Its contributions to the government’s fiscal revenue are also growing, as is its boost to the local value chain.

In 2025, the Buriticá Gold Mine produced approximately 8.8 tonnes of mined gold,
representing a decline from the previous year. AISC for the year was approximately US$1,003/oz, an increase from the previous year, primarily due to lower feed grades during certain periods, increased underground development work and the processing plant’s continued operation at full load, which limited the realisation of full economies of scale. During the year, the project completed the underground high- and low-chlorine water separation system and advanced tailings backfilling and storage facility construction, supporting stable and efficient operations.
Production planning was optimised to improve operating efficiency. Full completion of the three declines and the technical upgrade decline materially improved haulage efficiency, while development capacity increased by more than 20% from the beginning of the year.
Equipment management and process optimisation were strengthened, further improving recovery rates.
Buriticá Gold Mine is deeply integrated into the regional economy through long-term community investment. The project supports local industries, promotes agricultural innovation and develops community infrastructure. It works with small businesses and fosters strategic alliances in agriculture and livestock to broaden income opportunities. The company collaborates with institutions such as the Colombian Agricultural Research Corporation (AGROSAVIA), the National Federation of Coffee Growers (FNC) and the National Training Service (SENA), together with local farmers and entrepreneurs, to drive inclusive regional development.
Key community programs include:
“Sow for the Future” agricultural program to enhance productivity and diversification.
Community infrastructure projects that improve living conditions and connectivity.
International promotion of the local economy and tourism.
Local supplier development initiatives that integrate regional businesses into the mine’s value chain.
