MARCO DE POLÍTICAS MINERAS

The 2023 Mining Policy Framework (MPM) provides a systemic approach to mining governance across six pillars: laws and institutions, financial benefits, socioeconomic benefits, environmental management, post-mining transition, and artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM). It emphasizes the integration of international standards on human rights, gender equality, and climate change into national mining policies to ensure equitable benefit distribution and environmental protection throughout the mine life cycle.

• The Mining Policy Framework (MPM) is organized around six key pillars of good governance: laws, policies and institutions; financial benefits; socioeconomic benefits; environmental management; post-mining transition; and artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM).
• Effective mining governance requires a modern legislative regime with clear accountability, the generation of accessible geological information, and the regular updating of mining codes to align with international standards and human rights, including the rights of indigenous peoples.
• Financial regimes should be designed based on quantitative and qualitative analysis to optimize public revenue, limit tax avoidance, and ensure transparent distribution of benefits, including mechanisms for mining communities to benefit economically.
• Socioeconomic benefits must be balanced with social wellbeing, requiring mining entities to prioritize local employment, respect labor rights (prohibiting forced and child labor), and implement inclusive community consultation and grievance mechanisms.
• Environmental management must include the adoption of standards to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to meet international climate goals, the protection of water sources through watershed-level programs, and the application of a mitigation hierarchy to achieve 'no net loss' of biodiversity.
• Post-mining transition requires planning for closure before exploitation begins, including the provision of adequate financial guarantees and the implementation of progressive rehabilitation to ensure land remains productive and climate-resilient.
• Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) requires specific legal frameworks to integrate operators into the formal economy, technical training to improve productivity and climate resilience, and measures to eliminate the use of mercury and other toxic substances.
