Cundiboya Region
This region has also been rampaged
by small and medium mining operations
that have sprung up. The Tópaga
(Boyacá) mine gained worlwide
recognition because ofits practice of
forced child labor; because of their
small size, children could easily move
through tiny spaces and extract carbon
from the mines. This mineral
(metallurgic carbon) provides coke for
the national industry and the rest is
exported
