SMART AND GREEN MINING TECHNOLOGIES, DEVELOPMENT OF SUSTAINABLE PROJECTS. ENGINEERING WITH INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES.LITHIUM DLE PROCESS: As part of a DLE plant, we are developing sustainable brine technology with no carbon footprint. Our technology as part of the DLE process does not use gas to heat brines, but uses reduced electrical energy that can be solar or wind. The process is commercial to date for other industries and we are adapting it to improve the performance of existing DLE processes.FERTILIZERS: In the production of Potassium Chloride (Potash) we are developing an innovative plant process that reduces the carbon footprint and gas use, minimizes the use of fresh water and does not produce ClNa residues.Both developments are factory 4.0 and support remote web monitoring.We have investors to develop sustainable mining projects.

- Frac Sand Manager (2015 to 2017).- Mining Business Development Manager & Special Projects Manager (2011 to 2015) - President of CIMSA, YPF s Mining Company.As Business Development Manager, I started the mining unit and developed business related with strategic minerals (lithium, rare earth) and fertilizers (potash and phosphates), to support YPF’s diversification and growth. At the end of first year 3 JV agreement with international mining companies, were signed to explore Lithium, REE and Potash projects with budgets over 50 M US$. My next challenge , was to reduce shale well cost by supplying local frac sand and barite (both imported at high cost). I led the team who discovered local high quality sand with enough reserves to supply more than 80 years of present demand driving well costs down 60%.
