厄瓜多尔矿产资源及矿业投资环境

厄瓜多尔矿产资源丰富, 金、铜、银、铅锌及油气资源具备巨大开发潜力. 该国可分为6个三级构造带和12个三级成矿区带, 晚侏罗世斑岩型Au-Cu-Mo金属成矿带和渐新世-中新世斑岩-浅成低温热液型Au-Cu金属成矿带是该国最为重要的成矿带. 厄瓜多尔地质调查和勘查工作程度较低, 金属矿产开发程度不高, 矿业开发以外资为主导, 近年来铜金勘查逐渐受到重视. 矿业政策上, 该国通过修改矿业法, 降低了投资要求. 总体而言, 厄瓜多尔在资源禀赋、税收政策、双边关系等方面都存在有利条件, 但仍存在政治、社会治安等投资不利因素, 矿业投资的机遇与挑战并存.

MINERAL RESOURCES AND MINING INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT IN ECUADOR

Ecuador is rich in mineral resources, with gold, copper, silver, lead-zinc and oil-gas resources that have great development potential. The country can be divided into 6 three-order tectonic zones and 12 metallogenic belts of grade Ⅲ, among which the Late Jurassic porphyry Au-Cu-Mo metallogenic belt and Oligocene-Miocene porphyry-epithermal Au-Cu metallogenic belt are the most important. Due to the low degree of geological exploration and poor development of metal minerals in Ecuador, the mining development is dominated by foreign investment. However, the copper-gold exploration has gained more and more attention in recent years. The government has lowered investment requirements by amending the mining law. In general, Ecuador has favorable conditions in resource endowment, tax policy and bilateral relations, but still disadvantages in politics and social security, which presents both opportunities and challenges for mining investment.
