With a robust career spanning over 45 years, Steve has honed his expertise in evaluating natural resource targets and waste containment systems, making him a pivotal figure in the industry. His current focus on Chilean mineral resources has led to significant advancements, including the discovery and successful drilling of a promising porphyry copper-gold target in collaboration with Teck Minerals. This project, which involved a $2.5 million investment in exploration and 2000 meters of drilling, uncovered an impressive 60 million tons of 0.24% copper, along with valuable credits of gold and molybdenum.
Steve's unique blend of skills—ranging from data analysis and structural geology to client relations and business development—enables him to navigate the complexities of mineral exploration effectively. His previous tenure as an environmental engineering geologist with the U.S. EPA for 25 years has equipped him with a deep understanding of regulatory frameworks and environmental policies, which he adeptly applies when writing technical permits for controversial projects. This dual expertise not only enhances MILENA RESOURCES' operational capabilities but also ensures that projects are executed with a keen awareness of environmental stewardship and sustainability.
As a founder and active participant in various mineral ventures, Steve continues to explore new opportunities that align with industry trends, driving growth and innovation within the company. His commitment to excellence and strategic vision positions MILENA RESOURCES LLC as a leader in the mineral exploration sector, particularly in the rich geological landscape of Chile.
