He was bornon July 12, 1936 in Zimapán, State of Hidalgo. His father was Mr. Romualdo Sánchez Chávez and his mother was Mrs. Evangelina Lozada Rangel. César was the second of five siblings; Antonio, María de los Ángeles, Elvia and Romualdo Sánchez Lozano. César spent his first years of schooling in his hometown of Zimapán, he attended kindergarten for two years, his teacher was Agustina Cruz Mendoza. In elementary school, the first and second years he attended the private school La Paz in Zimapán Hidalgo and from the third to the sixth year, he studied in the private school "Julián Villagrán" in the city of Pachuca Hidalgo, where he remembers that on June 24 a rainstorm fell in Pachuca and some of his classmates lost their lives. It was in 1951 when he returned to Zimapán, to study high school in the "Josefa Bustamante" School, it was the first generation of twenty students. There he studied only the first year because his parents decided to send him to Mexico City to study at the Latin American Military School, where he finished high school, to start the first year of high school, but he no longer wanted to study, this decision is because since he was 10 years old, he was in Pachuca away from home and then in Mexico with a military discipline, this led him to make that decision. Of course, he had the disapproval of his father, who consequently integrated him fully into the mining work as an assistant to one of the workers of San Miguel Mining, Zeferino Martinez, who was the caretaker of the mill. There he learned to know the business and to work hard, to become years later the General Manager of the Company.
When his father died, the company went through a bad economic situation due to the fluctuation of market prices, César together with his brother Antonio integrated a work team with a lot of effort and dedication, with the purpose of achieving an important growth for the company; Antonio in the technical area and César in the administrative area, managing to go from a production of 20 tons of ore per day to 200 tons per day in the period of one year.
