TARRA-ALMARIO, Jorge Armando  and  RESTREPO BAENA, Oscar Jaime. Economic diversification and creation of local content within the framework of gold mining development in Colombia. Bol. cienc. tierra [online]. 2021, n.50, pp.68-76.  Epub Feb 11, 2022. ISSN 0120-3630.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rbct.n50.92933.

Colombia has a great potential in natural resources where gold is one of the main protagonists of that potential. In recent decades, this precious metal has played an important and fundamental role in the social and economic dynamics of regions such as Antioquia, Chocó, Bolívar and Valle del Cauca, among others. This shows that gold mining can play an important role in economic reactivation, contribution to economic diversification and creation of local content in the regions where mining projects are developed. This is possible if the process of extraction and beneficiation of the precious metal is carried out under the control and supervision of a system of good governance that guarantees the correct use of natural resources and generates conditions that support the economic apparatus of the regions and the nation in general.

Keywords : economic diversification; local content; development chains.
