Avanco Resources is an emerging Copper producer based in Brazil, seeking to appoint a suitably qualified candidate to the role of Mine Superintendent.
Centrally located in the Brazilian state of Para (~600km south of the capital, Belem), the operation is only ~20 minutes' drive from the state's largest mining town (population ~250,000).
