Interesting article … last sentence says it all BBG
“ Companies operating in Ecuador have sometimes struggled to meet Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) challenges and contended with unclear regulatory regimes, but the country has a new business-oriented president, Guillermo Lasso, who has pledged to establish a clear new framework for responsible mining, while also countering illegal mining and protecting the environment.[16] Mr. Lasso lacks a majority in Ecuador’s legislature (his party holds only 12 of 137 seats) so he must work with other parties to implement his agenda, which could prove difficult. But, after more than a decade of left-wing governments that didn’t place much emphasis on attracting foreign investment, Ecuador may now be ripe for new investments in mining.”
