Colombian Stocks: Mining, Gold, Copper

Glad you are here. Pull up a chair. Colombian stocks are a bigger, stranger and more interesting family than most investors expect: an oil major and a big bank on the New York Stock Exchange, a Bogotá-listed index, and dozens of gold and copper juniors trading in Toronto, Vancouver, London, Hong Kong and Sydney. This page is our map of the whole country, with the closest look at Colombian mining stocks.

We built it the way a field geologist builds a first-pass map: walk the ground, mark what is actually there, and write down where each thing came from. Every ticker and listing below was checked against company filings, exchange pages or reputable news reports. Nothing here is a recommendation. Where we use words like “top” or “largest”, we mean an objective measure such as stage of development or reported production, not an opinion about which stock to own.

What Colombian stocks are and where they trade

For our purposes, a Colombian stock is a listed company whose main business, or main asset, is in Colombia. That covers two quite different groups. The first is Colombian companies themselves, such as Ecopetrol or Grupo Cibest, which list at home and often in New York through American depositary receipts (ADRs). The second, and the one we spend most of our time on, is foreign-listed mining companies whose flagship projects sit in Colombian rock.

Those mining companies trade on a surprising number of exchanges:

TSX (Toronto Stock Exchange): home to larger producers and developers such as Aris Mining (TSX: ARIS), Mineros (TSX: MSA), Collective Mining (TSX: CNL), GoldMining (TSX: GOLD) and Outcrop Silver & Gold (TSX: OCG).
TSXV (TSX Venture Exchange): the traditional nursery for juniors, including Copper Giant (TSXV: CGNT), Tiger Gold (TSXV: TIGR), Royal Road Minerals (TSXV: RYR), Soma Gold (TSXV: SOMA) and Atico Mining (TSXV: ATY).
CSE (Canadian Securities Exchange): smaller explorers such as Quimbaya Gold (CSE: QIM).
Cboe Canada: Denarius Metals (Cboe Canada: DMET), which operates the Zancudo project.
NYSE, NYSE American and Nasdaq: AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE: AU), Aris Mining (NYSE: ARIS since February 2026), B2Gold (NYSE American: BTG), GoldMining (NYSE American: GLDG), Jaguar Uranium (NYSE American: JAGU) and Collective Mining, which moved its US line to Nasdaq in August 2026.
ASX (Australian Securities Exchange): Aguia Resources (ASX: AGR), with a small gold operation in northern Colombia.
AIM (London): Orosur Mining (AIM: OMI, also TSXV: OMI), which is exploring the Anzá project in Antioquia.
HKEX (Hong Kong): Zijin Mining (HKEX: 2899), owner of the Buriticá gold mine.
Bolsa de Colombia: the exchange long known as the Bolsa de Valores de Colombia (BVC), which took the name Bolsa de Colombia in October 2026 as part of the regional nuam group with the Santiago and Lima exchanges. Its benchmark is the MSCI COLCAP index. Mineros also trades there as BVC: MINEROS.

Field note: A Colombian project does not make a Colombian company. Most of the miners on this page are incorporated in Canada and report in Canadian or US dollars. What makes them “Colombian stocks” is the ground they explore or mine.

Colombian mining stocks

Colombia has been a gold country since long before there were stock exchanges. Today its listed mining sector runs from multi-mine producers down to two-geologist explorers with a concession and a soil grid. For the full picture, see our Companies & Projects tracker, the producer and developer list at Colombian Mining Companies, and the junior list at Colombian Exploration Companies.

The table below groups the companies in our tracker by stage of development, from production down to grassroots exploration. Grouping by stage is an objective measure; it says nothing about which company is a better investment. Tickers are the primary listings shown in our tracker.

Colombian gold stocks

Gold is the backbone of Colombian mining stocks. The Agencia Nacional de Minería (ANM), the national mining agency, puts preliminary 2024 gold production at about 56.7 tonnes, and in its 2023 figures the largest titled producers were Buriticá, Segovia, Nechí and Marmato. That gives you a short, factual list of the country’s biggest gold mines by reported output.

On the producer side, the names to know are Aris Mining (Segovia and Marmato, about 257,000 ounces combined in 2025 according to the company), Zijin Mining at Buriticá, and Mineros, whose Nechí alluvial dredging operation works the river gravels of the Lower Cauca. Smaller producers include Soma Gold, Denarius Metals and Antioquia Gold.

Behind them sits a deep bench of gold developers and explorers: B2Gold at Gramalote, GoldMining at La Mina, Tiger Gold at Quinchía, Collective Mining at Guayabales, and Orosur at Anzá. Most of them sit along the Middle Cauca belt, a corridor of porphyry and epithermal systems that runs through Antioquia, Caldas and Risaralda. Our Geology section explains why that belt matters.

Colombian copper stocks

Copper is the younger story, and to our eye the one with the most open ground. Colombia has never had a large copper mine, but it has some very large copper systems. AngloGold Ashanti‘s Quebradona project near Jericó, Antioquia, is the best known; its environmental licence application was shelved by the environmental regulator ANLA in 2021, and the company has said it is preparing a new environmental impact study.

Copper Giant Resources reported an inferred resource at Mocoa in Putumayo of about 1.12 billion tonnes at 0.31% copper and 0.039% molybdenum, effective November 2025. JCHX Mining Management, listed in Shanghai, took 100% of the Alacrán copper-gold project in Córdoba in March 2026. Atico Mining produces copper and gold at El Roble in Chocó, and Andina Copper (TSXV: ANDC) is drilling a porphyry copper-molybdenum system at Cobrasco, also in Chocó. In 2026 the ANM also awarded copper exploration contracts in a competitive round, including a Chaparral block in Tolima to Copper Giant.

Colombian junior mining and exploration stocks

Junior mining stocks are companies without a producing mine that fund drilling by selling shares. They are where discoveries are made, and where most of the risk lives. In Colombia the juniors range from resource-stage companies such as Outcrop Silver & Gold (Santa Ana silver, Tolima) to early explorers such as Quimbaya Gold in the Segovia district, Terra Rossa Gold at Vetas in Santander, Royal Road Minerals west of Medellín and Max Resource, whose Sierra Azul copper-silver project in Cesar is under an earn-in with Freeport-McMoRan.

Our full list, with a short note on each company, is at Colombian Exploration Companies.

Emeralds and other metals

Colombia is famous for emeralds, mostly from the Muzo district of Boyacá. The best known modern operation is the Coscuez mine, run by Fura, which went private in 2020, so there is no listed pure-play emerald stock in our tracker today. Beyond gold, copper and emeralds, the country produces coal and ferronickel, and explorers are testing other metals: Jaguar Uranium (NYSE American: JAGU) holds the Berlin project in Caldas, and Auxico has explored for rare earths and coltan in Vichada.

Other Colombian stocks: energy, banks and ETFs

Outside mining, a handful of large Colombian companies are easy for North American investors to find. Here is a short factual list of verified listings:

Ecopetrol (NYSE: EC): the state-controlled integrated energy company, founded in 1948 and based in Bogotá.
Grupo Cibest (NYSE: CIB; Bolsa de Colombia: CIBEST and PFCIBEST): the holding company of Bancolombia since a corporate reorganization completed in May 2025. Each NYSE ADR represents four preferred shares.
Grupo Aval (NYSE: AVAL): a Colombian financial group with ADRs on the NYSE since 2014.
Global X MSCI Colombia ETF (NYSE Arca: GXG): a US-listed fund launched in 2009 that tracks the MSCI All Colombia Select 25/50 Index. The older iShares MSCI Colombia ETF (ICOL) was delisted in 2022.

How to buy Colombian stocks from Canada and the US

This is general education, not advice, and every investor’s situation is different. Most Colombian mining stocks are listed in Canada, so a Canadian investor can usually buy them through an ordinary brokerage account on the TSX, TSXV, CSE or Cboe Canada, in Canadian dollars. US investors often reach the same companies through a US exchange line (NYSE, NYSE American or Nasdaq) where one exists, or through over-the-counter (OTC) lines such as OTCQX or OTCQB, which many Canadian juniors maintain for US holders.

Larger Colombian companies such as Ecopetrol and Grupo Cibest trade as ADRs in New York, quoted in US dollars. Shares on the Bolsa de Colombia, or on AIM, ASX or HKEX, need a broker with access to those markets, and you will be dealing in pesos, pounds, Australian dollars or Hong Kong dollars. Currency conversion costs and exchange-rate moves are part of the trade. For more on the legal and tax side, see Investing in Colombia.

What moves Colombian mining stocks

Metal prices: gold and copper prices drive producer margins and the value the market assigns to ounces and pounds in the ground.
Permits: an environmental licence granted, shelved or appealed can reprice a developer overnight. Quebradona is the textbook case.
Drill results: for explorers, core is everything. A long intercept at good grade, or a dry hole, moves a junior more than almost anything else.
Financings: juniors raise money by issuing shares, which funds the work but dilutes existing holders.
Studies and resources: a maiden resource, a PEA or a feasibility study changes how the market values a project.
Elections and policy: national elections, mining-code reform and royalty or tax changes all shape sentiment. We follow them in Elections & Government.

Risks investors ask about

Colombia rewards patience and punishes assumptions. These are the risks we hear about most often:

Permitting: mining titles are administered by the ANM, while large projects need an environmental licence, typically from ANLA, the national environmental licensing authority, or from a regional environmental corporation. Timelines can stretch for years. See Permits & Licensing.
Prior consultation: under Colombia’s Constitution and ILO Convention 169 (adopted as Law 21 of 1991), Indigenous and Afro-Colombian communities have a right to be consulted on projects that affect them. The Constitutional Court treats this as a fundamental right.
Security: armed groups are active in some mining districts. Zijin has reported repeated security incidents around Buriticá.
Informal mining: the ANM attributes more than half of 2024 gold output to subsistence mining. Informal and illegal mining can overlap with company concessions.
Currency: costs are often in pesos, revenues in US dollars and share prices in Canadian dollars.
Policy change: royalties, taxes and mining rules can change with governments. Our Policy & Permitting section, including Royalties & Taxes, tracks this.

We also write about community, water and environmental questions in our ESG section.

Frequently asked questions

What are Colombian mining stocks?

They are shares in listed companies that explore for, develop or mine minerals in Colombia, mostly gold and copper. Most are incorporated and listed in Canada, though some trade in New York, London, Hong Kong, Sydney or Shanghai.

Can I buy Colombian stocks in Canada?

Yes. Many Colombian mining stocks trade on the TSX, TSXV, CSE or Cboe Canada and can be bought through a normal Canadian brokerage account. Larger Colombian companies such as Ecopetrol trade as ADRs in New York.

Which exchanges list Colombian gold stocks?

Mainly the TSX and TSXV in Canada, with others on the CSE, Cboe Canada, NYSE, NYSE American, Nasdaq, AIM, ASX and HKEX. Mineros also trades on the Bolsa de Colombia.

What are the largest Colombian gold mines?

By the ANM’s 2023 production figures, the largest titled gold producers were Buriticá (Zijin), Segovia (Aris Mining), Nechí (Mineros) and Marmato (Aris Mining). That is a ranking by reported output, not a recommendation.

Are Colombian stocks risky?

All mining stocks carry risk, and juniors carry the most. Colombia adds permitting delays, prior consultation, security concerns, informal mining, currency swings and policy change. Understanding those risks is the first job.

Is there a Colombia ETF?

The Global X MSCI Colombia ETF (NYSE Arca: GXG) tracks a broad Colombian equity index. It holds mostly banks, energy and other large companies, not junior miners.

What is the MSCI COLCAP?

It is the main benchmark index of the Colombian stock exchange, calculated by MSCI. It measures the larger, more liquid shares traded in Bogotá.

Where can I find a list of Colombian mining companies?

Our tracker lists every company we follow, and our mining companies and exploration companies pages give a short profile of each.
