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!!!
