Ecuador And Solgold Agree On $4.9bn Mining Project

 

Ecuador’s government and Australian mining company SolGold have reached an agreement to develop the underground Cascabel mine, involving an investment of $4.9 billion. Situated in Ecuador’s northern Imbabura province, the mine is expected to generate $35 billion in exports and contribute $8 billion in state taxes and royalties over its projected 26-year operational period. The Cascabel mine, potentially one of the world’s largest reserves for silver, gold, and copper, is set to start construction in 2025 and commence operations in 2030.
