Good morning addicknt, as you are aware this is my first mining share, but have been investing in oil and gas for decade's.
Usually when the permission is given to exploit the discovery.
The resource must be tested and an indicative amount must be registered.
This helps assist the jurisdiction to set the rates of tax and allow investment into the project.
They do have to show how it will be brought to fruition.
Usually with funding agreed.
Not always in place, but able to demonstrate it's available.
I have no idea what Ecuador required to get our explotation license, but I am a lot more comfortable now we have it.
