Recently, he worked with Fortuna Silver Mines Inc., where he managed brownfields exploration programs in Mexico and Peru. Dr. Velador previously served as Director of Exploration for First Majestic Silver Corp., where he managed the exploration team that discovered the silver and gold deposit at Ermitaño, located adjacent to the company’s Santa Elena mine in Sonora, Mexico. Dr. Velador started his career working for Industrias Peñoles where his work was instrumental in the discovery of the Valdecañas Vein at the Juanicipio project, a Fresnillo – MAG Silver joint venture.
Jesus earned a B.Sc. from the University of Chihuahua, a M.Sc from the University of Texas at El Paso and a Ph.D (Epithermal deposits) from the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology.
“As we continue to advance the Panuco Project from exploration towards the development stage, we are pleased to add key individuals with specialized skill sets to complement our dynamic and highly experienced team,” commented Michael Konnert, President and CEO. “Martin will lead the Company’s technical group, supervising the preparation of the Preliminary Economic Assessment. In parallel, Jesus will lead the exploration team in ongoing resource expansion and regional exploration drilling for an updated resource estimate planned for Q4 of this year. We are excited to promote Martin to the role of COO and have Jesus join the Company as VP Exploration as we continue to grow the resource base in the district and transition Vizsla into the industry’s next tier 1 silver developer.”
