Voices from the field

“Hy-Tech provides confidence and trust on delivering objectives in a safe and professional manner. I don’t have to micro-manage, which makes my job easier and saves me time and money.”

— Vitor Araujo, Exploration Manager, Somincor
Strength through adaptation.

Hy-Tech’s journey in Portugal began in 2006, when a long-term Canadian client expanded exploration into Europe and invited us to join them, marking the start of our international growth. Nearly two decades later, Portugal remains a cornerstone of our global footprint, where we’ve built a strong reputation for dependability, safety, and performance, supporting programs that have advanced from early-stage exploration into active production through careful planning, collaboration, and respect for local environments across the Iberian Pyrite Belt.
