Mining in Ecuador is no longer just an economy, but a global strategic issue. Copper and other critical minerals are essential in the energy transition and in competition between powers such as China and the

Carlos de Miguel, CEO and general manager of Hanrine Exploration & Mining, the Ecuadorian subsidiary of Australia's Hancock Prospecting, owned by billionaire Gina Rinehart, signed an agreement with Enami EP to explore unexplored territories adjacent to the Llurimagua copper deposit. The initial investment amounts to USD 1.9 million

Almost two years later, the project has not progressed due to the lack of awarding the necessary concessions. Hancock requested the mediation of the State Attorney General's Office to resolve the conflict
