Summary
Fabio De Jesus Rios Cuitiva is a geological engineer and M.Eng. candidate in Mineral Resources with 10 years of multidisciplinary experience leading exploration campaigns, mine operations, and environmental permitting in Colombia. He currently coordinates field campaigns for a national mineral potential evaluation project at Universidad Nacional de Colombia, overseeing QA/QC, detailed geological mapping and geochemical sampling while managing logistics and multidisciplinary teams. Fabio combines hands-on operational leadership—having directed open-pit placer gold mining and technical mine area management—with research skills in mineral characterization (SEM-EDS, XRD, SC-XRD, MFM) developed as a student researcher. He has automated geodatabases with Python to streamline environmental permitting workflows and led zonation studies for protected areas, blending technical rigor with regulatory compliance. Based in Medellín, he bridges academia and industry as a professor and project geologist, uniquely able to translate laboratory characterization into field-ready exploration strategies.
