ECUADOR GOVERNMENT ESTABLISHES TARIFF CUTS TO AID MINING DEVELOPMENT
VANCOUVER, CANADA, November 18, 2008 - Ecuadors Council of External Commerce and Investment ("COMEXI") has approved a resolution (Resolution No. 448) to eliminate the import tariffs on a range of equipment, especially those related to mining. This equipment list includes crushers, mills, screens and grinding balls.
COMEXI is composed of representatives from a number of important Ecuador political institutions and Ministries, including Dr. Xavier Abad, who is also the Minister of Industries and Competitiveness. Commented Dr. Abad, "Resolution No. 448 of COMEXI is a clear signal of the decision of the Government to promote the development of mining projects in Ecuador that are responsible to the environment. The resolution expresses the spirit of COMEXI to facilitate the importation of capital items that are indispensable for mining activity."
ABOUT CORRIENTE
Corriente controls a 100% interest in approximately 62,000 hectares located
within the Corriente Copper Belt, Ecuador. The Belt currently contains four
known copper and copper-gold porphyry deposits: Mirador, Mirador Norte, Panantza
and San Carlos; as well as six additional copper exploration targets,
representing a potential long-term district development opportunity for
large-scale mining.
