Luis Alberto Hernández Méndez

Industrial and Systems Engineer with extensive experience in the mining field, developing day by day the knowledge acquired in the use and handling of explosives and their application in the field, offering the results expected by the client in rock fragmentation.

The experience in the area of blasting i have developed in a period of 14 years, of wich the first five years i had the opportunity to work in the area of blasting for Minera Penmont, Fresnillo PLC, La Herradura Unit, Caborca, Sonora, Mexico, through the services provided by the tcompany Servicios y Asesorías para la Mineria S.A de C.V (SAMSA).

On this occasion I developed my work in Centauro Pit (today Megacentauro), Valles pit, Dipolos and Soledad pit and Nochebuena pit, all belonging to La Herradura Unit, Fresnillo PLC, Caborca, Sonora, México.

I was able to continue in the field of blasting, 2 years as Technical and Safety supervisor and 1 year as Operation Manager, working with the company DUFIL, in the blast hole service in San Francisco Mine, Santa Ana, Sonora, México.

Later I worked for 1 year as Blasting Supervisor for SAMSA in Nochebuena Unit, Herradura Mine, Fresnillo PLC.

I also collaborated in the Technical Services Deparment of Orica in the period of 2 years, visiting Herradura, La Caridad , Cobre del Mayo, La India and Buenavista del Cobre mines, all in the State of Sonora.

In December 2020 I started collaborating as an employee of the company SAMSA, in Mina la Herradura, Caborca, Sonora, as Supervisor A, having in charge of my responsibility to maintain the levels of operation, under the schemes marked by the client.
Given the experience, I have been able to deliver results in the field of rock fragmentation, obtaining a favorable result to cite an example, in Mina San Francisco, in the reduction of fragmentation on site, displacement and abundance of blasting, resulting in a better performance of hauling equipment and mineral recovery, as well as increased productivity in the area of breakers, through the use of electronic initiators from the Austin Powder company.
Working with Orica, a technical report was also prepared for La India mine, Agnico Eagle, in the municipality of Sahuaripa, Sonora, to support the issue of fragmentation and use of electronic initiators of the company Orica. (Unitronic).
