Libero Copper's Mocoa project: A pathway to production aligned with environmental goals
To achieve climate-change targets, the mining industry needs to speed up the adoption of carbon-reducing technologies – integrating electrification with automation and digital systems.
Copper has been an extremely useful metal throughout history thanks to its high thermal and electrical conductivity. As the world moves away from its dependence on fossil fuels, copper has become known as “the green metal”.
The world is not currently producing enough copper to meet demand, suggesting a significant medium-term shortage.
Libero Copper holds a collection of porphyry copper deposits throughout the Americas and our highlight project, Mocoa, is located in Colombia.
Ian is very passionate about all the lessons learned from his experience and success in Ecuador to do something even bigger in Colombia.
Since the beginning, it has been about instilling a set of values in the organization, building real relationships locally that are the backbone of national reputation and developing political will.
In Colombia, Libero is highly aligned with the government’s goals for energy transition and has local, high-level support. The company is working together with the Government on a defined pathway through to production in order to significantly de-risk the Mocoa project.
The Mocoa project is a key player in Colombia to achieve its decarbonization and reindustrialization goals and has strong local support. But because of that, we are thinking more than just a clear pathway to continue the expansion of the deposit but a clear pathway to production built together with the government.

Overall, there is strong local support for the Mocoa project and it’s on its way to achieving decarbonization and reindustrialization goals. Libero is thinking not only about how we can expand the deposit, but how we can build a clear pathway to production in collaboration with the Colombian government.
