Resumen

Este artículo presenta los resultados de un estudio que recabó información de gran parte de las autoridades ambientales y mineras de orden territorial y nacional del país con el objeto de realizar una caracterización cuantitativa y cualitativa de los principales aspectos sociales, económicos, ambientales y de política pública que rodean la pequeña minería en Colombia. Al respecto se encontró que el 72% de las minas del país corresponden a pequeña minería y dentro de este porcentaje, el 66% es ilegal. Respecto a las minas ilegales se logró determinar que el 39% lleva más de 10 años de explotación minera por lo cual pueden ser consideradas como minería tradicional no legalizada. También se destaca el papel de la mujer y de los grupos étnicos en la pequeña minera. Finalmente, se hacen evidentes los fracasos que ha tenido el Gobierno nacional para legalizar y formalizar esta actividad.
