Santacruz Silver Mining has tapped from within for its executive suite and named Eduardo Torrecillas to be its chief operating officer.
With over 18 years of experience in senior leadership roles, prior to his appointment as COO, Torrecillas served as executive chairman and president of Santacruz’s Bolivian operations since March 2022. Before joining Grupo Minero Sinchi Wayra, he spent more than 12 years at Minera San Cristóbal S.A., a subsidiary of Sumitomo Corporation.
In addition to his corporate roles, Torrecillas has been president of the National Association of Mid-Tier Miners (ANMM) since April 2022. He was unanimously re-elected in March 2024 for a new two-year term (established in 1939, the ANMM has long represented private mining companies in Bolivia).
In his new role, he will oversee all operational functions across the company’s mines and exploration projects in Mexico and Bolivia.
