Grosso Group Management

JOSEPH GROSSO - President

Mr. Grosso is the founder of Grosso Group Management and a respected entrepreneur with extensive international business experience having operated for decades in various European and Asian countries. From his corporate headquarters in Vancouver, Canada Mr. Grosso has developed a strong network of long term international financial relationships. He has experience in financing, marketing strategies and has successfully formed strategic alliances and negotiated with mining industry majors such as Barrick, Teck, Newmont and Viceroy, now Yamana Gold.

During a family visit to Argentina in 1993 Mr. Grosso met Dr. Vicente Mendez, ex chief geologist for the government and associate professor at the University of Buenos Aires, who explained the early stage mining opportunities in Argentina. To take advantage of such opportunity, Mr. Grosso formed Minas Argentina S.A. (MASA) with Dr. Vicente Mendez as chief property scout and geologist. Thus the Grosso Group team discovered the Gualcamayo project and eventually Minas Argentinas SA and the Gualcamayo project were taken over and today are managed by Yamana Gold.

Mr. Grosso is a proponent and passionate ambassador of good mining practices and as such has been able to form a committed management group comprised of professionals who are extremely sensitive to the needs of working in mining regions with strong emphasis on community relations and building strong ties with local governments as key components for success.

Of Italian descent and fluent in Italian, English and Spanish, Mr. Grosso lived in Argentina and Peru where he acquired a very deep appreciation for Latin culture and successfully developed a vast network of contacts which have been very beneficial to the associated companies of the Grosso Group.
