The Ecuador Court dismissed the final legal challenge against the Silvercorp’s El Dom project

The Ecuador Constitutional Court unanimously dismissed the final legal challenge against the Environmental Mining Project of Metals Silvercorp EL Dom.

The El Domo project defines a precedent in Ecuador as the first in the country to consult an environmental consultation in accordance with the regional agreement on access to information, public participation and justice on environmental issues in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The plaintiffs filed an extraordinary defense of defense on December 19, 2024, but this was denied by the Constitutional Court on February 26, 2025, it did not meet the criteria for admitting a constitution.

A subsequent proposal for clarification was also unanimously rejected on July 24, 2025.
