Ben Pullinger
President and CEO, ATEX Resources Inc.
The Valeriano Project is a copper-gold porphyry deposit located in Atacama Region, Chile. Ben will highlight the journey that transformed this once-overlooked deposit into a project attracting significant market attention. He will discuss the history of Valeriano, the strategic decisions and technical approach applied by ATEX, and how these efforts unlocked the deposit’s potential in a short timeframe. The talk will provide valuable insights into both the geological merits of Valeriano and the exploration strategies that positioned the project as a standout in today’s copper-gold landscape.
