New Colombia Resources has secured work plan approval from the Agencia Nacional de Mineria (ANM) of Argentina for its metallurgical coal mine.
The company will now work with local environment authorities to progress towards production stages.
Over next few weeks, New Columbia will submit the permit application for the extraction of raw building materials and an environmental permit for coal production.
New Colombia is also in talks with major international coal and energy companies that have an interest in entering the Colombian coal sector.
Receipt of a coal environmental permit is anticipated in first quarter (Q1) and the company expects to generate revenue within the first half of Q1.
New Colombia president John Campo said the approval of the work permit by the ANM is a great step towards coal production.
