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

Gladys Castro Senior Geologist

Gladys Castro is a San Juan based geologist with over 15 years' experience in copper-gold porphyry systems and was involved in an earlier exploration program at the Piuquenes project during her time at Anglo American.

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."
