An international mining and minerals expert, Stuart Saich, founder and CEO of Promet101, is part of the team who ensure BarCan’s mining methods are stateof-the-art and optimized for consistent production. Stuart has active projects ongoing in Chile, Zimbabwe, and Mexico; worked in the Fort McMurray (AB) Oilsands, and with companies such as Bechtel, SNC, and Torex. Reached at his Santiago offices, Stuart said his time on site in Buchans was a satisfying challenge. “Reliable, cost-effective, quality was what we designed into BarCan’s process, and that is what they produce.”
Promet101’s Ben Chisholm remained on the BarCan site after assisting with the 2020 startup, to upskill local workers in the latest techniques and methods for producing great Barite.
