据路透社4月14日波哥大报道，一家行业协会周二表示，在煤炭、黄金和镍产量增加以及外国直接投资的推动下，哥伦比亚的采矿业有望在2021年恢复15%，预计外国直接投资将增加近两倍，达到27亿美元。
"我们预计采矿业今年年底将复苏约15%，复苏的标志是煤炭产量提高......并受到新的金矿和铜矿项目的推动，"哥伦比亚矿业协会（ACM）主席胡安-卡米洛-纳里诺在一次虚拟新闻发布会上说。
该协会表示，除了提高煤炭产量和新项目外，复苏还将受益于基础设施工程的重启以及对翡翠等奢侈品需求的上升。
Narino表示，今年该行业面临的主要挑战包括推进勘探政策以吸引更大的投资，恢复之前的煤炭生产水平，以及寻找主要在亚洲的新煤炭市场。
Narino称，在去年产量下降40％至4950万吨后，哥伦比亚矿业协会已将今年的煤炭产量目标定为6000万吨。
该协会表示，黄金的产量目标已从去年的153万金衡盎司提高到178万金衡盎司。
一金衡盎司重约31.1克，而一普通盎司重略高于28.3克。
Narino补充道，预计2021年镍产量为4万吨，高于2020年的3.6万吨。他预测今年镍的出口额为107亿美元。

Colombia's mining sector to recover 15 per cent in 2021
Colombia's mining sector is expected to recover 15 per cent in 2021, propelled by greater production of coal, gold and nickel and direct foreign investment, which is expected to almost triple to $2.7 billion, an industry association said on Tuesday.
"We expect the mining sector will finish this year recovering some 15 per cent, a recovery marked by better coal production ... and boosted by new gold and copper projects," Juan Camilo Narino, president of the Colombian Mining Association (ACM), said in a virtual press conference.
As well as improving coal production and new projects, the recovery will also benefit from the restarting of infrastructure works and rising demand for luxury goods such as emeralds, the association said.
This year the industry's main challenges include promoting exploration policies to attract larger investments, restoring previous coal production levels, and finding new coal markets, mainly in Asia, Narino said.
The ACM has set a coal production target this year of 60 million tonnes, after output fell 40 per cent to 49.5 million tonnes last year, Narino said.
The production target for gold has been set at 1.78 million troy ounces, up from 1.53 million troy ounces last year, the association said.
A troy ounce weighs around 31.1 grams, while a regular ounce weighs just over 28.3 grams.
Nickel production of 40,000 tonnes is expected in 2021, up from 36,000 tonnes in 2020, Narino added. He forecast nickel exports of $10.7 billion this year.
