Whilst I believe this to be a ruse of some type, it’s hard to put your finger on.
This will be backed by the Chinese government imo, it’s a greater foothold in the South America which they have been working on. They want these minerals in or tier 1, they want all the other tenements that Solgold hold, it’s not just the mines, it will be the infrastructure needed, it will be a plus for Ecuador people with access to roads and better quality of life.
So I do believe the Chinese would pay a lot more for us, for all the work it would involve for all imo
Quick Ai search
China is heavily investing in infrastructure, especially ports and railways, across South America, focusing on Brazil (Santos Port, railways), Peru (Chancay deep-sea port, Amazon waterway), and also establishing significant footholds in Bolivia (lithium), Chile, Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela, to secure resources, expand trade routes via the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), and create vital links between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
Key Countries & Projects:
Peru: Developing the massive, Chinese-built Chancay deep-water port, designed as a direct gateway to Asia, significantly cutting shipping times and handling massive container ships.
Brazil: Expanding major ports like Santos and Paranagua (through Cofco & China Merchants), building railways through soybean-rich areas, and investing in energy transmission lines.
Bolivia: Finalizing deals for lithium mining in the Uyuni salt flats, aiming to supply critical minerals back to China via the new port networks.
Colombia, Ecuador, Chile: Also see significant Chinese investment in ports, railways, and resource extraction, often linked by new corridors.
Venezuela: A long-term partner with significant Chinese loans and investments, primarily linked to oil.
Would China really want to lose this?
So much more to this than we can see, annoying to say the least
