Synopsis The 'Base Metals Mining in Bolivia to
2020' report comprehensively covers the country's
historical and forecast data on base metals (zinc
and lead) mine production and trade to 2020, and
reserves by geographical region. The report
also includes drivers and restraints affecting
the industry, profiles of major base metals
mining companies, information on the major
active, exploration and development projects, and
regulations governing the industry. The fiscal
regime section provides information about the
countrys regulatory authority, laws, licenses
and other fiscal regime information such as
taxes, rates and other charges applicable to the
mining of the commodity in the country. It is
an essential tool for companies active in the
Bolivian mining industry, and for new competitors
considering entering the industry.

Report OverviewThe Bolivian base metals mining
industry primarily consists of zinc and lead,
with production of these two metals accounting
for 3 and 2 of the global total. The mining
industry has played an important role in the
countrys economic development, contributing 6
to its GDP as of October 2014, and secured FDI
worth US219 million in 2012. In 2013, Bolivias
zinc and lead production measured 395,100 and
78,800 tonnes respectively. The majority of the
countrys zinc originates from the San Cristobal
province and the Potosi department, while much of
its lead production originates from the Porco and
Caballo Blanco Mines, also located in the Potosi
department.

Scope The report contains an overview of
Bolivia's zinc and lead mining industry together
with the key growth factors and restraints
affecting the industry. It also provides
information about reserves, production, trade,
prices, competitive landscape, major active,
exploration and development projects and the
fiscal regime of the country.

Key Highlights In 2013, the countrys zinc
and lead ores and concentrates exports measured
740,000 tonnes and 145,700 tonnes
respectively. The countrys fiscal regime was
somewhat confusing until the passing of a new
Mining Law in May 2014, which replaced the Mining
Code of 1997 (law No. 1777 of March 17, 1997).
The new law restricts the countrys cooperative
miners (a group of individual miners) associating
with both domestic and foreign private
companies.  As of June 2014, the World Bank
Ease of Doing Business ranking for Bolivia was
157 out of 189 countries. According to the
Corruption Perspective Index 2013, the country is
ranked 106 among 177 country measured by the
Transparency International. As of October
2014, the mining and quarrying sector had a share
of approximately 6 of the Bolivian GDP. Earlier
in 2012, the sector had a share of approximately
7 of Bolivian GDP as against a 9 share in
2011.
