You heard it here first. IKN can confirm that on Monday March 5th 2012, Ecuador's government will sign the contract for the big Mirador copper project with the delegation representing China's CRCC-Tongguan consortium, owners of ECSA (Ecuacorriente).
The signing will happen in the Presidential Palace, Correa in charge of the whole bunfest. Expect the full PR machine in attendance and expect Vice Minister of mines Auquilla to beam and smile to one and all as he mans the Ecuador booth at PDAC.
Disclosure: No exposure to anything Ecuador. That won't change.
