Leadership
Napoleon Toquero
Founder and Principal Architect of the ETM Concept
Napoleon Toquero comes from a family with generations in mining and mineral exploration, and spent his early professional years in the family business, on mining and grassroots exploration across the Philippines and Indonesia.
With a background in business and computing, he migrated to Australia in 1986 and worked with the Australian Treasury as a Senior Business Analyst, Software Architect and Developer, in systems design, business analysis and strategic planning.
From those disciplines he developed the intellectual property concept known as Engineered Transmigration (ETM): the principles of business analysis and software architecture applied to designing sustainable, humanitarian and environmentally responsible cities in remote regions rich in natural and mining resources.
What ETM spans
- Advanced mineral exploration
- Mine development and operations
- Agricultural and food production systems
- Port construction and logistics infrastructure
- Fresh water generation and distribution
- Power and utility services
- Industrial development and manufacturing
Financial engineering is a key part of ETM: the pathways that raise capital and fund these communities and cities. It carries TIME's vision past the mine itself, to the towns that grow around a resource project and to running them.
Vision
To create sustainable and prosperous mining-based communities by integrating advanced technology, responsible resource development, infrastructure, and social innovation.
Mission
To deliver world-class mining, consulting, and project development services while fostering strategic international partnerships that promote sustainable economic growth and community development.
