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 .”
