About the Ecuadorian Mining Sector Presently, Ecuador has one of the least developed mining industries in South America. Currently, however, advanced studies are underway on several projects that could form the basis of a modern mining industry in the near future. In the meantime the country produces an estimated 10 tons of gold from a large number of small scale operations based mainly on skarn, polymetallic and low-sulphidation gold occurrences scattered throughout the Western and Eastern Cordilleras in the southern part of the country. Canada has a significant investment in the current mining exploration activities taking place. Leading the way are companies such as IAMGold, International Minerals Corporation, Corriente Resources, and Aurelian Resources.
