New Country Manager brings over two decades of mining expertise

Aguia Resources (ASX:AGR), a South American mining company, has announced a strategic move to enhance its operational leadership with the appointment of Luis Paolo Herrera Alejos as Country Manager for Colombia. This key leadership addition aligns with the company's advancing efforts at the Santa Barbara Gold Project, a significant gold exploration initiative in northern Colombia.

Strengthening Local Expertise

Alejos joins Aguia with over 22 years of extensive experience in mining and civil earthworks across Latin America. He brings a strong background in managing large-scale mining projects, particularly within the copper and gold sectors. His leadership spans multiple geographies, including Peru, Guyana, Mexico, and Colombia, where he has previously overseen complex infrastructure development for mining ventures. Alejos holds a civil engineering degree from the National University of Engineering in Peru and a master’s in Construction Management, providing a solid technical and managerial foundation for his new role.

Strategic Focus on Santa Barbara Gold Project

Aguia’s Santa Barbara Gold Project, covering an area of 320 hectares, is positioned in the Serrania de San Lucas region — widely recognised as the richest gold belt in Colombia. The project sits at the northern end of this prolific mineral zone, presenting considerable exploration potential.

The appointment of a dedicated Country Manager underscores Aguia’s intent to localise operations and accelerate progress on the ground. It reflects the company's commitment to operational efficiency, regulatory alignment, and community engagement in Colombia, paving the way for long-term exploration and potential development.

A Growing Multi-Commodity Portfolio

Beyond Santa Barbara, Aguia Resources (ASX:AGR) maintains a diversified portfolio of mining assets across South America, with active interests in both Colombia and Brazil. The company is exploring multiple commodities including gold, phosphate, copper, and silver — positioning itself for value generation across various market cycles.

As Aguia strengthens its local team in Colombia, the focus remains on responsible development and unlocking value from its expanding resource base in South America. The latest appointment signals a proactive approach toward building regional capabilities and aligning with growth objectives in one of the continent’s most prospective gold regions.
