In February, the companies C.I. Prodeco S.A., Carbones de La Jagua S.A. and Consorcio Minero Unido S.A., holders of the mining contracts for the operation of the Calenturitas and La Jagua mines, filed their relinquishment of said contracts before the National Mining Agency (ANM).
In September the ANM accepted the relinquishment, thus terminating the operations of the Prodeco Group in the Calenturitas and La Jagua mines in Cesar, and initiating the process of liquidation and reversion of the mining infrastructure.
