Mr. Hernández is an accomplished economic geologist with over fifteen years experience in exploration, mining and resource estimation.

Many of his discoveries are currently mining operations.

His most recent employment was with Lundin Gold at the Fruta Del Norte Project in Ecuador where he directed the geology staff, in-fill and exploration drilling, geostatistics and block modeling, and production reconciliation to reserve estimations.

While working for Gold Resource from 2012 to 2017, Guillermo took the lead role in discovering the large Switchback epithermal system and putting the El Aguila and Altagracia underground mines in production in Oaxaca, Mexico.

Mr. Hernández holds a BS degree with honors in Geological Engineering, and a Masters in Geochemistry, from the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Mexico City.
