Oscar has assumed operational responsibility for the 2024/25 Piuquenes field season.

Joseph van den Elsen, Pampa Metals President and CEO commented: “We are delighted to welcome Oscar and Gladys to our team; their enthusiasm and local operational and technical experience will prove valuable as we rapidly advance the Piuquenes Project. The Piuquenes project is a Company making asset and we are all looking forward to more fully delineating the size and grade potential of the first deposit during the 2024/25 field season and concurrently testing a second undrilled, outcropping porphyry at Piuquenes East. Desktop work to-date confirms the potential for a cluster of deposits along a trend, and we will advance several other targets this field season through surface exploration and possibly geophysics.”
