Lundin Gold CEO Ron Hochstein recently discussed potential criteria for his company to acquire another asset. He mentioned that an asset outside of Ecuador and at the development stage would be key considerations. Lundin Gold, which opened Ecuador’s Fruta del Norte mine in 2019, expects to produce between 450,000 – 485,000 ounces of gold in 2023. While Lundin Gold is currently a single-asset company, it is also open to potential acquisitions. Hochstein sees a development-stage asset as the most likely buying scenario, with the ability to bring it quickly through construction. Additionally, Lundin Gold plans to expand Fruta del Norte by increasing throughput and exploring for more opportunities in the region.
