Patricio's arrival allows us to continue driving our technical leadership and commitment to innovative solutions for the mining industry. His vision and knowledge bring a strategic dimension to the team, and we are confident that he will significantly contribute to the development and success of our projects and clients."
Throughout his career, Patricio has worked in organizations such as CODELCO and Tetra Tech Chile (Metálica Consultores), gaining experience in economic sequencing, mine design, strategic planning, and the development of mine plans for medium- and large-scale operations. He has also led engineering studies for projects such as chloride leaching developments and concentrators.
Regarding his incorporation into SRK Chile, Patricio commented:
SRK's prestige as consultants and the opportunity to participate in diverse studies and projects were key factors in my decision to join the team. My goal is to collaborate in strengthening SRK's Mining, Resources, and Reserves team and to establish ourselves as industry leaders. I believe the experience I have gained over the years will help build trust with our clients and, together, deliver solid analyses for decision-making and the design of necessary solutions."
Patricio also emphasized the importance of mining strategy in the success of projects:
From my experience as both a consultant and a client, I have seen that the business is defined by mineral resources and the strategy for converting those resources into reserves. This is the area where the value of a company or project is created, and at SRK, we have the team to support our clients from the earliest stages to the realization of the business. That is what drives us."
Esteban Hormazábal added:
The addition of Patricio represents a firm step in our commitment to strengthening the team and SRK Chile's position as a benchmark in mining consultancy. On behalf of the entire organization, we warmly welcome him. We are confident that his experience and leadership will be fundamental to our growth and the success of our clients. We are honored to add a leader who shares our values and purpose, and we trust that together we will achieve great results for the industry both nationally and internationally."
