BRASILIA, June 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Mineral production in Latin America is booming, presenting a wealth of opportunities for those ready to invest.

Providing a refreshing contrast to the traditional event format, November's summit will see a lively mix of roundtable meetings, peer-led panel discussions and next generation solutions. A dynamic mix of sponsors will be contributing to the mix, whilst all executives in attendance will be given the opportunity to network on a strategic level with their peers. There are some exciting topics scheduled for discussion this year, with completion and construction services, HSE services, recruitment and high-level staffing to name but a select few.

The summit will see some of the most prominent figures from the Latin American mining sector in attendance, including Cesar Aguirre, VP Explorations for Hochschild Mining; Rodrigo Quental, Manager Business Development for Vale; Pedro Garcia, Mining Director for EBX; Julio Carvalho, President for Rio Novo Gold; and Fernando Puntigliano, Country Manager - Uruguay, for Zamin Ferrous.

Julio Carvalho, President of Rio Novo, attended the most recent NG Mining LA summit and found that the sheer range of executives in attendance presented invaluable opportunities for networking, stating: "It was an excellent mix of South American and Mexican mining/exploration companies, and I found this particularly useful for sharing best practices in the continent."

Tim Miller, President & CEO for Atacama Minerals, found similar benefits, saying: "I enjoyed the renewal of some old acquaintances and the forging of new ones. There was a tremendous diversity of interests rarely found at mining seminars."
