BOGOTA, Nov 26 (Reuters) - Colombia expects to receive more than $16 billion in mining and energy investments between 2009 and 2015, Finance Minister Oscar Zuluaga said on Wednesday.

"These are projects that are on the way. They have been deemed viable and some of them are already financed," Zuluaga told a meeting of business leaders.

Colombia's mining and energy sector has drawn increased investment in recent years as a U.S.-backed security offensive has pushed leftist guerrillas away from cities and highways. (Reporting by Javier Mozzo; editing by Jim Marshall)
