The 13th International Congress of Prospectors and Explorers - proEXPLO 2023 will feature speaker David Cooke, Director of the Centre for Ore Deposit and Earth Sciences (CODES) at the University of Tasmania.

Dr. Cooke has over 30 years of experience investigating hydrothermal and magmatic processes leading to the formation of epithermal porphyry copper-gold ores, in collaboration with his students, postdoctoral research fellows and colleagues.

He also has in-depth knowledge of the mineralogical and geochemical halos of porphyry and epithermal deposits, for which he has developed new geochemical exploration tools for the mining industry.

For this, he was recognized with the AMIRA International Award for Geoscience Research Excellence in 2012. He also received the Thayer Lindsley Lecturer Award from the Society of Economic Geologists in 2005, the SEG Silver Medal in 2013, the Haddon Forrester King Medal from the Australian Academy of Science in 2018 and was SEG Distinguished Lecturer in 2021. He has been an associate editor of Economic Geology since 2001.

His extensive experience and research results will be shared during the proEXPLO event organized by the Peruvian Institute of Mining Engineers (IIMP), to be held in person from May 8 to 10, 2023, in the city of Lima. The slogan of this year's international congress is "Discovering the mining of the future".
