CALIBRE MINING
Calibre operates the Pan Mine in Nevada and El Limon, La Libertad and Pavon mines in Nicaragua. Seeking to increase production, one of the company’ s latest endeavours is the Eastern Borosi project, located in the Atlantic region of Nicaragua and scheduled to enter into production in 2023.
Petri Salopera, Vice President of Sustainability for Calibre Mining, is keen to share the company’ s achievements as an advocate for corporate social responsibility. Salopera himself is responsible for overseeing Calibre’ s overall sustainability performance in relation to ESG across its operations.
“ Mining is fundamental for the future of our planet”
PETRI SALOPERA VP SUSTAINABILITY, CALIBRE MINING
Originally from Finland, Salopera has lived in South America for most of his life. He is familiar with Latin American culture and fluent in Spanish, which was beneficial when he joined Calibre in 2021 and entered into what was, for him, new jurisdictions.
“ The biggest challenge must have been the new jurisdictions,” says Salopera.“ I have worked in Latin America for almost 30 years, but I had never been to Nicaragua before. Fortunately, our team there is highly experienced and engaged, and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with them. They have contributed to my experience, and I have learned from them. In Nevada, we have a small but very strong team. This allowed for a quick and solid incorporation of the Nevada operations into our overall sustainability framework.” calibremining. com 7
