Freedt Kilder Figueroa Balvin, Mg

Freedt Kilder Figueroa Balvin is a Mining Engineer with a Master’s degree in Geology, with solid academic and professional training in mineral exploration, applied geology, and mining operations. His main area of specialization is the prospecting, identification, and evaluation of strategic and non-metallic mineral deposits, with particular interest in their geological controls, formation processes, and economic potential. He has professional experience in mining operations, including supervision of extraction processes, safety and operational management, and technical consulting in non-metallic mining projects. His work integrates geological interpretation with practical mining solutions, contributing to efficient resource exploitation and compliance with safety and environmental standards. Currently, he serves as a faculty lecturer at Universidad Continental (UC), within the Faculty of Mining Engineering, where he teaches courses related to mineralogy, petrology, geology, and applied mining technologies. His teaching approach emphasizes the integration of theoretical concepts with practical case studies, field experience, and the use of modern digital tools applied to geosciences and mining engineering. In parallel, he works as a Resident Engineer at V&V; Maquinarias S.A.C., a company dedicated to the exploitation and processing of non-metallic minerals in the central region of Peru. In this role, he is involved in operational supervision, geological assessment, and technical decision-making to optimize production processes. Additionally, he has participated in international scientific events and academic activities in Russia, focused on mineral deposit formation processes, tectonic settings, and modern approaches to economic geology. His professional interests include strategic mineral exploration, applied geology, mining innovation, and the use of emerging technologies in mineral resource evaluation.
