Joseph van den Elsen

President & CEO

Since joining Andina Copper (formerly Pampa Metals) in October 2022, Joseph has been instrumental in driving the Company’s growth strategy and execution across South America - leading its entry into Argentina via the Piuquenes project and, more recently, the acquisition of Rugby Resources and its Cobrasco (Colombia) and Mantau (Chile) projects.

A dual Australian–Colombian citizen, Joseph brings extensive experience across capital markets and boots on-the-ground exploration in South America, having held leadership roles across numerous listed and private mineral exploration and development companies, and previously serving as an Associate Director with UBS and Goldman Sachs JBWere.

Joseph is currently studying towards a Master of Science (Mineral Economics) through Curtin University.
