State of Colombian Gold Mining on BBC World Business

Rahim Jivraj, President of Mercer Gold Corporation, is interviewed on BBC World Business on February 16th 2011. With Colombia projected to double its gold production over the next five years, how did Rahim Jivraj, a 33-year old Canadian finance entrepreneur and mining novice, wind up with extensive land holdings in one of the hottest gold districts in Colombia? With this gold boom in Colombia, South America in full swing, securing speculative land adjacent to a gold deposit with 10 million ounces may have been an act of divine providence. "It's the result of being in the right place at the right time," says Rahim Jivraj, President, CEO and Director, Mercer Gold Corporation, www.mercergoldcorp.com, who founded the company last year with this one major asset: the Guayabales Gold Project located in the Marmato Gold District, in Caldas, Colombia
