Beowulf (AIM: BEM; Aktietorget: BEO), the mineral exploration and development company focused on the Kallak magnetite iron ore project in northern Sweden and its graphite projects in Finland, is pleased to announce that Mr Christopher Davies has been appointed to the Board as Non-Executive Director.

Chris, who is a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, is an exploration/ economic geologist with more than 30 years' experience in the mining industry. He has substantial knowledge of graphite and base metals, a particular skill set which will be complimentary to Beowulf's existing team, and was Manager for the exploration and development of a graphite deposit in Tanzania. Chris has worked as a geologist in many different parts of the world including Africa, Australia, Yemen, Indonesia and Eastern Europe.

Chris' most recent role was as a Consultant to an Australian Group seeking copper-gold assets in Africa where he carried out technical due diligence and negotiated commercial terms for joint venture partnerships. Chris was Operations Director of African Eagle until March 2012 and Country Manager for SAMAX Resources in Tanzania, which was acquired by Ashanti Goldfields in 1998 for US$135m.

Chris graduated with an honours degree in Geology from the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth in 1979, and gained an MSc DIC in Mineral Exploration from The Royal School of Mines, Imperial College London, in 1984.

Bevan Metcalf, Chairman, commented:

"We are delighted to have Chris join the Board of Beowulf.  He brings a wealth of experience which is relevant to Beowulf's ambitions, and his skill set complements the current management team.
