Mayra Jefferson Montoya is a Chemical Engineer from the the National University of San Marcos in Peru, with a Master’s degree in Extractive Metallurgy from Western Australian School of Mines (WASM).
The focus of Mayra’s research is the characterisation of base sulphide ore performance, based on the pyrite type present and its geochemical, electrochemical and mineralogical characteristics. This research program aims to develop tools for the diagnostic assessment and treatment of new ore reserves and mine tailings.
Mayra has over 6 years of experience in the development of geometallurgical studies for different deposit types, including narrow vein deposits, both on greenfield and brownfield projects, as well as major process design and testing on complex polymetallic ores, copper and gold, and the development of associated predictive models throughout South America.
