In this episode we chat to Michael Jones, CEO and President of Los Andes Copper - a TSX-listed Canadian company focused on developing the Vizcachitas copper-moly porphyry project in Chile.

Michael is a geologist by background with a proven track record in discovering and developing mines. He tells us more about Los Andes Copper and the milestones they have achieved including an upcoming re-rating of the asset.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Los Andes is focused on developing the Vizcachitas deposit in Chile.
• The asset is now properly consolidated, with permits for over 3oo drill holes.
• It is massive, with about 13 billion pounds of copper and copper equivalent.
• Plus, the area has still not been fully explored, yet.
• The team is highly experienced. In addition, many have worked for decades in the Vizcachitas area.
• This is a tremendous time for copper. In the podcast, Michael explains how urbanization, electrification, and sustainable power are feeding demand.
• Vizcachitas is near good infrastructure and the copper is relatively close to the surface.
• Copper is vital for Chile’s economy, which brings many advantages for mining firms.
