The study has been received with expectation by all market players. The government has indicated its great interest in the project and the company is already processing the permits and authorizations it must obtain to begin construction of the mine.
This work, says Dr. Tauton, will be carried out taking into account national legislation and the best practices developed in world-class operations. The best standards will be taken into account to protect the richness of the ecosystems that will be impacted by the works.
“The company understands that the area is very rich from the point of view of biodiversity and we are going to exceed the government's expectations,” he says.

"We have close ties and we do everything together to share improvements for everyone," emphasizes the executive.
Vice President Tauton remarks that Ecuador has the great advantage that the projects have been demonstrating the quality of the mineralization that extends from Chile.
