Exploration Geochemist at Hudbay Minerals Inc.

My key expertise involves applying advanced data analytics to integrate geochemistry with geological, mineralogical, and geometallurgical data. Exploration geochemistry applications include belt- to mine-scale mineral potential assessment through anomaly detection, alteration facies, chemostratigraphy, magmatic fertility, sedimentary provenance, erosion levels, and elucidation of mineral deposit environments. Mining geochemistry applications include ore body characterization using machine learning techniques to develop fit-for-purpose geochemical proxies for geometallurgical attributes such as deleterious minerals, metal recoveries, hardness, oxidation stage, etc. I have investigated min...
