Traceable gold supply chains in Colombia
Gold in Colombia passes through many hands. Minario maps each actor, the institution it answers to and the evidence it must keep, so every bar can prove where it came from.

How Minario controls the chain
From the purchase counter to the national platform
- 1
Purchase
Checks the buyer's valid RUCOM certificate, requires the origin certificate or production declaration, and controls the 420 g annual cap for subsistence miners. If a requirement is missing, the purchase does not proceed.
- 2
Smelting
The output bar inherits the origin of every input bar, with loss control against tolerance.
- 3
Sale
Assembles the file and prepares the records for a technology operator to send to the Agency's platform.
