Management Changes
Following the very positive results achieved in the 2014 Copper Hill drilling program, the Company is committed to progressing Copper Hill towards development as a mining operation. As a first step this will require the move from an exploration focus to multi-disciplinary studies to determine the optimum project configuration.
Mr Ken Hellsten has been appointed as the interim CEO to lead the Company, and manage the next phase of the Copper Hill project development.
Ken has brought several resource projects, including some much larger and more complex than Copper Hill, from the exploration stage through the development into operations. He also has a track record of delivering value for shareholders, most recently successfully bringing the Polaris Metals NL Carina Iron Ore Project to feasibility study and achieving an eight-fold increase in the Polaris share price with Polaris’ takeover.
