Viteri pioneered exploration in the Vicuña District and discovered Toro & Tolita, and drilled some of the first holes at mega gold deposits Caspiche (Barrick & Newmont) and the Maricunga Gold Mine (Kinross). He was Chief Mine Geologist at El Teniente, the oldest & largest underground copper mine in the world. His exploration programs discovered several gold and copper prospects including Buenaventura (IOCG), Lajitas (porphyry gold), and Mostazal (copper).

What Viteri could bring to his Advisory Board role at Gold Hart Copper: Drawing on over three decades of mineral exploration experience and direct involvement in discovering some of the continent's largest gold-copper deposits, Viteri brings unparalleled geological expertise in the Maricunga and Vicuña districts where Gold Hart operates. His track record navigating complex porphyry copper-gold systems, combined with his prior roles as Senior Exploration Manager and Chief Mine Geologist at major operations, positions him to provide strategic technical guidance on property evaluation, exploration methodology, and advancement toward exploitation. His personal discovery and decades-long stewardship of the Toro and Tolita properties—now part of Gold Hart's portfolio—demonstrates his conviction in the region's enduring potential.
