History of the MARMATO MINE
Marmato, known locally as Colombia's "Golden Mountain," is the producer for which the region is named. The reputed wealth of Marmato is such that Colombia used it as collateral with the British government to secure funding for its war of independence against Spain. The mountain is thought to have been in continuous production by local miners for more than 500 years.
 
Geology of the MARMATO MINE
The Marmato Mountain Gold District is located on the eastern edge of the Western Cordillera of the Colombian Andes. It is adjacent to the major Romeral Fault Zone, a terrane boundary between Paleozoic-age continental basement of the Central Cordillera to the east, and Cretaceous-age oceanic basement of the Western Cordillera.
