  • Exemption of import and export duties, and the ability to import contractor equipment from free-trade countries without duties;
  • Guarantees on powerline and road upgrade and construction approvals;
  • Approval of a special dispute resolution article, including international arbitration protection. Jurisdiction in New York with English language;
  • Free transfers abroad of cash profits earned, and;

Christian Kargl-Simard, President and CEO of Adventus Mining, commented: "As this is the third major production related IC between the Government of Ecuador and the metals and mining industry, after Lundin Gold's Fruta del Norte and EcuaCorriente's Mirador mines, this is a major step forward for El Domo. The IC gives our stakeholders additional certainty for development and was a key conditions precedent to be able to draw our US$235.5M in project financing facilities. With the IC completed, we continue to work with Government Ministries and expect to announce additional permit approvals and El Domo related contracts with the Government of Ecuador over the next months."

Fredy Salazar, President and CEO of Salazar, commented: "We thank the Government of Ecuador with the confidence in Adventus Mining, Salazar and El Domo. This is another step closer to my dream of placing El Domo into production for the greater good of the Ecuadorian people, and of course our communities and employees."
