Instructor: Dr. Philip Goodell and Dr. Castulo Molina, with principle assistants MS. Roshelly Paliza, Marc Lucero (MS in process) and Tony Garcia (PhD in process)
CEGS was invited to be an Institutional partner for the 10th international Congress of Prospectors and Explorers ProEXPLO 2017 in Lima, Perú, and to present a Short Course before the convention along with other short courses and field trips to main deposits and projects in Perú.
9 hours lenght in spanish,This course focused on the technical, financial and social aspects of discovery with an emphasis on an integrated approach utilizing diversified resource case studies. Today more so then ever before, aspiring entrepreneurs in the exploration industry cannot afford to ignore the unified approach that is required to bring a mine into production. Entrepreneurs are the backbone of the mining sector and discovery is the point at which all things become possible. In the excitement of exploration, entrepreneurs and by extension investors, plunge into common pitfalls, which can result in costly yet easily avoidable mistakes
- The course was given in collaboration with “The Peruvian Institute of Mining Engineers (IIMP)” institution in charge of the convention organization
- Travel and hotels expenses were cover by the IIMP.
- Course Certificates and booklets were issued by the Peruvian Institute of Mining Engineers and signed by Dr. Philip Goodell and Dr. Castulo Molina
