Lumina Gold, Ecuador’s largest primary gold project (Site Visit)

Lumina Gold’s Cangrejos and Gran Bestia deposits in Ecuador’s El Oro Province are among the largest undeveloped gold resources in the Americas, holding 21 million ounces of gold and 2.7 billion pounds of copper. This video explores the project’s key advantages, including its proximity to infrastructure such as a deep-sea port and paved roads, which streamline logistics and reduce costs.

In addition to its impressive geological potential, Lumina Gold is committed to sustainability and community development. “It’s not just about mining; it’s about making a lasting, positive impact,” says Andrea Salvador, head of corporate affairs. Initiatives like reforestation programmes and community greenhouses demonstrate the company’s efforts to support local livelihoods while minimising environmental impact.
