Between July 22nd and 25th, researcher Dr. Nelson Morales and the Ph.D. student in Mine Engineering at the University of Chile, Fabián Manríquez, were invited to take a course at the Mine Planning Laboratory (LPLM), belonging to the Department of Mines (DEMIN) - School of Mines, of the Federal University of Ouro Preto (UFOP) in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The course titled "Mine Planning Based on Optimization and Simulation Model" was organized in conjunction with the Director of LPLM and Professor DEMIN-UFOP, Dr. Carlos Arroyo, who seeks "to provide new opportunities for DEMIN-UFOP students to share academic and professional experiences and acquire new knowledge".

Michel Gamache, Senior Lecturer and Researcher at the Polytechnique in Montreal-Canada, completed a short two-week stay at the Delphos Mine Planning Laboratory. This stay aimed to complete the publication of two articles collaborating with Dr. Nelson Morales and two students who made research stays in Canada, namely Pedro Sanhueza and Héctor González, thanks to the Canada-Chile Leadership Exchange Scholarships that these students obtained in 2018 and 2019, respectively.

On Monday, June 17th, students of Civil Mining Engineering of the University of Talca accompanied by their professor, Dr. Manuel Reyes-Jara, visited the Delphos Mine Planning Laboratory and the Faculty of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, at the University of Chile, within the framework of the elective course of advanced optimization, applied to mining. Thus, the students were able to know the Faculty, and the new facilities of the Laboratory, share with its members (researchers, rote students and theses, master's and doctoral), and know the different software that Delphos has developed.

Two Delphos Mine Planning Laboratory members were recently qualified as Civil Mine Engineers of the University of Chile. Both successfully surrendered their title defenses to a committee of experts.

Héctor Alarcón Solís, whose title work was: "Simulation of the use of differentiated stockpiles for the implementation of energy demand management in SAG grinding," defended his work before a commission made up of Dr. Willy Kracht (Director and Professor of DIMin), the Mag. Javier Pérez (Codelco) and his guide professor, Dr.  Nelson Morales, director of Delphos Laboratory.   

For his part, Daniel Pedraza Castillo presented his work titled: "Simulation and comparison of the performance of office algorithms in open pit mining", with a commission consisting of Dr. Freddy Milla (UChile), the engineer Cristian Salas (NCL), and his guide professor, Dr. Nelson Morales.

Congratulations and best wishes for success to the new Civil Mine Engineers of the University of Chile!!!
