coal mines in colombia

If you're down there I would visit a few construction sites and ask how they do it. Speak to the Foreman or Project Super. Next step I would check with customs to see what the import fees are.

Interesting.

It might be interesting how does Chile does with their copper mines. They got a "gold mine" but on copper, coal in Colombia is at El Cerrejon.

Big industry around Santa Marta and the Guajira called El Cerrejón Norte and is reported to be the largest coal mining operation in Latin America,. Company presently uses 136, 154t-capacity Wabco and Euclid rear-dump haulers. The Colombian end is handled by Carbones de Colombia SA (Carbocol). The other way is by rail to Santa Marta then off loaded onto freighters. Thats all the activity just off shore when you land at the SM airport

That is north, at least north east but in Colombia is considered "north". The Cerrejon mine – the world’s largest open pit coal mine is in northern Colombia. Where do you consider the north?

BTW, lots of union problems like slguy says.
