Lundin Gold Inc. is a Canadian-based gold mining company engaged primarily in the exploration, development and operation of the Fruta del Norte gold project in southeastern Ecuador. The company’s flagship asset, Fruta del Norte, is an underground high-grade gold deposit located in the historic Zaruma–Portovelo mining district. Lundin Gold designs and manages all aspects of the mine’s operations, from underground extraction and ore processing to environmental management and community relations.
Fruta del Norte commenced commercial production in 2020 and employs conventional underground mining methods combined with a modern gravity and flotation processing plant. The operation focuses on efficient recovery of gold through a circuit optimized for high-grade sulphide ore. In parallel with production activities, the company invests in exploration programs across its district-scale land package, aiming to identify additional mineral resources and extend the mine’s life.
Founded in 2014 through the consolidation of assets acquired from private developers, Lundin Gold is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia. The company’s management team is led by President and Chief Executive Officer Ron Hochstein, who brings extensive experience in mine construction and operations. Lundin Gold’s board and senior leadership emphasize responsible mining practices, prioritizing health and safety, environmental stewardship and long-term engagement with local and indigenous communities.
Operating exclusively in Ecuador, Lundin Gold maintains a strong corporate presence in Quito and ongoing collaboration with national and provincial authorities. The company implements rigorous environmental and social programs designed to support regional development, infrastructure improvements and local workforce training. Lundin Gold continues to explore opportunities to expand its mineral portfolio while upholding high standards of governance and sustainability in its mining ventures.
