We are a Colombian non-profit corporation, founded in 2025, working to strengthen the talent, capabilities and relationships of the mining and energy sector.
What we believe
Mining has done everything right and everything wrong
Illustrative image
It has done things right because it has worked hard to follow good industrial practices, to always give its best, to pay well and to be technically responsible; it has done things wrong in the eyes of society, because it has not known how to work as a sector.
Rather than a sector, we have been an archipelago, where each company is an island jealous of its information and its achievements; we contribute royalties, jobs and technical knowledge and, even so, we are the ones who take the least part in the conversation about what we do, so our story is told by others.
CTMC was born to change that, with a simple conviction: sharing does not make us weaker, and the sum of the parts is worth more than what each one achieves on its own.
Our purpose is to be a trusted meeting point where it is possible to understand what we do, discover initiatives, access knowledge, identify opportunities and take part in relevant conversations, and over time this digital home will also be the gateway to specialized tools such as the Mining Capability Registry and the Mining Talent Hub.
We prefer to move forward honestly: every initiative we present states whether it is operating, in pilot, in design or on the roadmap, and every promise corresponds to an existing capability or to a plan identified as future work.
Together we are more
A space where the sector stops being islands
We share information
With clear rules, because what is shared well makes us stronger as a sector.
We support each other
One company can help another going through a similar situation, without fear that doing so will weaken it.
We make the good visible
We tell with pride what we do, why we do it and how hard we work at it.
We accept mistakes and learn
Recognizing what we have not done well is the first step to improving.
We look outward
We connect with organizations in other countries to learn from them and to contribute to them.
We are a space of humility and pride, of open but not naive thinking, neither arbitrary nor biased.
Our pillar · How we see the ecosystem
One village, one product
We are inspired by One Village, One Product, the movement born in 1979 in Oita Prefecture, Japan, where each community devoted itself to what it did best and took it to the world.
In our sector the opposite often happens, since either everyone does everything or the specialists do not talk to each other, and at every conference we congratulate one another and sign agreements that stay on paper; we believe we first have to agree on what we want and then let each one contribute the best of themselves.
That is why CTMC does not do anyone else's job, since we do not recruit, evaluate candidates or compete with our partners; what we do is build bridges so that each one reaches exactly what the sector needs, from the large contractors and the recruitment firms to the supplier who brings Christmas gifts to the children of a community.
This is the pillar of what we believe and the guide for what we will build from here on, from the Mining Talent Hub and the Mining Talent Summit to the Mining Capability Registry, since each initiative exists so that every actor does what it knows best and we all move toward the same goal.

How we work
The principles that guide every decision
Technical rigor
We talk about verifiable capabilities, sourced data and explicit criteria.
Open dialogue
We open useful conversations between industry, academia, communities and government, and with organizations in other countries.
Transparency about progress
We clearly distinguish what operates today from what is in pilot or on the roadmap.
Respect for people and territories
We represent diversity without idealizing work or instrumentalizing communities, and we never publish data that identifies anyone.
Sharing without fear
Information shared under clear rules makes us stronger as a sector, not weaker.
Everyone in their own field
Each actor contributes what it does best toward a common goal, and CTMC replaces no one.
From paper to practice
We prefer a small agreement that is kept to a big declaration that stays in writing.
The human dimension
Mining is also people, families and territory
Illustrative image
Our work does not end with promoting jobs or events; we want to open conversations about training, health and safety, prevention of problematic substance use, career paths, inclusion and coexistence in the territories.
We do it without reducing mining to a corporate showcase or an emotional campaign, since we believe its productive dimension and its human dimension must be seen together.
