About this statute

This provision identifies Law 685 of 2001 as the Mining Code and states that it concerns general mining rules. This provision states the Code’s objectives: to promote technical exploration and exploitation of state- and privately owned mineral resources, and to do so in a way that supports internal and external demand and aligns with rational use of non-renewable natural resources and the environment. This provision says the Code governs legal relations tied to mining works and minerals, and it excludes liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons. Las reglas de este Código prevalecen para asuntos mineros; las normas civiles y comerciales sólo se aplican allí si este Código las remite o si faltan normas expresas. Las autoridades administrativas no pueden dejar de decidir por vacíos legales. Solo pueden exigirse a los interesados los requisitos, formalidades, documentos y pruebas expresamente previstos en este Código para trámites mineros; ninguna autoridad puede agregar permisos, licencias o requisitos adicionales, salvo la competencia ambiental.
