"What drives and drags the world is not machines, but ideas"

Jorge Artal, CPGeo

General Manager

30 years of experience in the mining industry, both in exploration and exploitation and mining projects. This experience has been developed mainly in strata, exotic and porphyry copper deposits in Chile, as well projects in the Copper Belt in Zambia, polymetallic in the USA, copper porphyry in Pakistan, gold in Guyana and IOCG in Peru. The operational experience includes both open pit and underground mining, occupying positions of Geology Superintendent, Planning and Development Superintendent, Chief of Mining Resources and Principal Geologist.

His responsibilities have included the corporate mining resources report on the London Metal Exchange , implementation of geological procedures and QA-QC, providing guidance and control to exploration and production geology teams at different sites, instituting industry best practices Mining, implementation of a corporate geological database system, audits and due diligence to geological projects, development of exploration drilling campaigns, mining projects and geology in the conceptual stages, pre-feasibility, feasibility, setting In operation and production.

In recent years he was Operations Manager in a drilling company.
