This April 26th, a new edition of Road to proEXPLO 2023 (Rumbo a proEXPLO 2023) will be held, focused on Mississippi Valley Type (MVT) deposits and the potential for discoveries in Peru, which will be streamed live through Zoom's virtual platform.

This edition will feature renowned experts on the subject, who will address everything from the natural formation of this type of deposits, through the most successful case studies, to the existing opportunities for new discoveries

David Leach

One of the speakers will be Eng. David Leach, a graduate of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and a doctorate from the University of Missouri.

He worked at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory for 5 years as a project scientist in uranium geochemistry, hydrothermal alteration experiments on porphyry ores and exploration geochemistry. He also joined the U.S. Geological Survey, where he worked for more than 34 years.

He is currently a research professor at the Colorado School of Mines, an adjunct professor at James Cook University, a visiting professor at China University of Geosciences and a consultant to the minerals industry.

In Road to proEXPLO 2023, Eng. David Leach will elaborate on the following topics: MVT deposits in general; MVT in Peru and its potential to find more; and exploration tools.

Saulo Oliveira

Saulo Oliveira, who is currently a researcher at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, will also participate as a speaker.

He has a long career in the mining industry, having worked in deposits in South America and Africa.

His current research has focused on 3D geological modeling, CO2 geological storage and economic geology.

He will be responsible for sharing detailed information on new academic findings about the Shalipayco and Florida Canyon deposits for the viewers of Road to proEXPLO 2023.

Watson Flores

Watson Flores, a geological engineer from the Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería, will also participate as a speaker.

He led exploration campaigns for zinc, lead, silver and copper minerals in different deposits in and outside Peru, such as the local projects of Bongará and Shalipayco, and the Aguilar (Argentina) and Punitaqui (Chile) mines.

Subsequently, he resumed leadership in the Shalipayco and Cañón Florida projects of Nexa Resources, for which he was able to increase the mineral resources to 30 million and 22 million tons, respectively.

In Road to proEXPLO, he will elaborate on: the MVTs of Peru; perspectives of a field geologist; and the possible locations of new MVT deposits to be found in Peru.
