As quoted in the market report:
Jofre and Chile’s Mining Minister Hernan de Solminihac gave Correa a tour of the Gaby mine as the Ecuadorean leader seeks to build support at home for his country’s nascent mining industry. The Junin deposit in northern Ecuador contains enough copper and molybdenum to rival the biggest mines in Chile and Peru, according to Ecuador’s Mining Chamber.
