has agreed to join the advisory board. Dr. Petersen is the
originator of the zoning ore model for hydrothermal veins, and one
of the world's leading experts in economic geology. Dr. Petersen is
regarded as one of the pre-eminent authorities on modeling
epithermal vein systems and will be a significant addition to
Rochester's strong management team and will contribute
significantly to the company's long-term mine plan.
Dr. Petersen received a degree in mining engineering from the
Escuela Nacional de Ingenieros in Lima, Peru. He also taught there
until 1951. Following this, he earned his Master's degree and Ph.D.
from Harvard University.
Dr. Petersen has taught courses in ore deposits and mining
geology at Harvard since 1963 and has occupied the Harry C. Dudley
chair since its inception in 1982. He was also head tutor and
chairman of the standing committee of the environmental science and
public policy concentration, which started in 1993.
Dr. Petersen has been a consultant with several mining
companies, governments, and international organizations throughout
the world, and has applied his expertise in Peru, Ecuador, Panama,
Mexico, Canada, Argentina, Haiti, Namibia, Spain, Japan, Australia,
Bolivia, Chile, and the United States.
Dr. Petersen's long list of achievements includes the Peruvian
government's "Order of Merit" for his contributions to Peruvian
geology and the discovery of ore deposits; and the German
government's Humboldt Foundation research award. He is also a
Fellow of the Mineralogical Society of America and the past
President of the Society of Economic Geologists.
President, Dr. Alfredo Parra comments, "We are very pleased to
be able to attract an expert of this calibre to our project in
Mexico. Dr. Petersen has been responsible for the discovery of
numerous epithermal deposits throughout Central and South America.
Dr. Petersen will apply his expertise to our projects by working
with me side by side to construct an epithermal ore model for both
the Mina Real and Santa Fe projects. Our personal and working
relationship goes back many years and I believe we can have as much
success on Rochester's projects as we have had in the past at our
other major epithermal discoveries and mines."
