TSX-V-listed Inomin Mines has appointed Victor Jaramillo exploration VP to help advance the company’s Beaver-Lynx polymetallic project and evaluate new acquisition opportunities.

Jaramillo brings more than 40 years of international mineral exploration and mine geology experience to Inomin, strengthening the company’s management team.

He is an accomplished geological consultant and president of Discover Geological Consultants.

He is also a registered professional geoscientist with Engineers and Geoscientists British Columbia, a Fellow of both the Geological Association of Canada and the Society of Economic Geologists, and a member of the Geological Society of Nevada.

Throughout his career, Inomin notes, Jaramillo has held senior technical and management roles with major and junior mining companies, including senior project geologist, chief mine geologist, technical director and exploration manager.

His expertise spans regional exploration, property evaluation, mineral resource estimation, mine operations and the management of large-scale, multimillion-dollar exploration programmes.

Jaramillo also has an extensive record of discovery and project advancement across the Americas.

Notably, Inomin says he led the team that discovered the Langosta porphyry copper/gold prospect in Mexico; was responsible for the discovery of the Las Lomas porphyry copper/gold prospect in Peru; completed the initial resource estimate for the Santa Rosa gold mine in Peru; and played a key role in the discovery of the Wayka high sulphidation gold project in Ecuador.

His work has focused on precious metals, copper/gold porphyry and base metal deposit types, with project experience in Canada, the US and throughout Latin America.

“Victor is an exceptional addition to our leadership team.

“His discovery record, technical depth and hands-on experience managing exploration programmes will be instrumental as we build on our nickel/magnesium/cobalt/platinum group element discoveries at Beaver-Lynx and seek new project opportunities. We are delighted to welcome Victor to Inomin as VP of exploration,” says Inomin president and CEO John Gomez.
