Thirty geology students who are part of the second edition of the Mining Talent Pool scholarship program (II Cantera de Talentos para la Minería) will have free access to the 13th International Congress of Prospectors and Explorers (proEXPLO 2023) to be held from May 8 to 10 at the Lima Convention Center.

This benefit has been considered mainly for Geology scholarship holders, since this international congress brings together specialists in Geology worldwide, as well as representatives from universities, geological services, mining companies, exploration companies and investors in general.

It is worth mentioning that the Talent Pool scholarship recipients belong to 26 universities in the country, so some of the students are not in Lima, but in other regions. However, this will not prevent them from participating in proEXPLO, as they will be given virtual access to the entire conference program of the event.

Scholarship holders who are able to attend proEXPLO in person will have access to the conference program and the Technology Exhibition, with more than 70 stands and 8 Core Shack modules, which will allow them to learn about the geological wealth of 8 Peruvian deposits.

Participating in proEXPLO will be a very valuable experience for those young people who will soon begin their professional careers. It will bring them closer to the reality of the industry at a national and international level, and they will broaden their knowledge with the latest advances in mining exploration that will be presented.

The benefit of providing free access to 30 scholarship holders has been made possible thanks to the coordination of Eng. Enrique Garay, leader of the Geology area, and Eng. Sebastián Benavides, president of proEXPLO 2023.
