In this episode we chat to Eduardo Covarrubias, Chairman at Los Andes Copper, a TSX listed miner focused on developing its 100% owned tier-one copper-molybdenum porphyry project in Chile.
A chemical & Industrial Engineer by background, Eduardo has been involved in the banking industry with Chase Manhattan Bank for almost a decade, covering the mining sector in Chile and has expertise in project financing, structured finance and mergers and acquisitions transactions. As Chairman, he is going to talk about the growth of the company, their tier-one asset the Vizcachitas project and what their strategic plans are for the future.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

The routes into the mining business are sometimes unorthodox, generally due to the multi-varied facets of the business. Everything from finance to administration to geology and exploration are routes in.
Being in a mining-friendly jurisdiction always helps when planning and strategising an exploration project.
Chile is home to four of the world's largest copper mines, one of which the flagship copper concerns in the world.
Mining can be used as a force for good, despite the public perception at times. Elements such as harvesting drinking water for drought-hit communities is helping to reestablish mining as a force for good.
