BUXTON APPOINTS EAMON HANNON AS CEO
The Board of Buxton Resources Limited (ASX: BUX & BUXO) is pleased to announce the appointment of Eamon Hannon as Chief Executive Officer.
Mr Hannon, a geologist and Fellow of the AusIMM, has a wealth of experience within the minerals industry from grass roots exploration through to project development., Having previously worked for Fortescue Metals Group (ASX: FMG) from early 2004 to late 2012 in the role of Director, Exploration and Evaluation, he lead the teams to delineate in excess of 10 billion tons of iron ore resources and greater than 1 billion tons of iron ore reserves.
During his 20 years of experience, Mr Hannon has explored for and developed gold, base metals and industrial materials over 4 continents and more than 10 countries including Tanzania, Mexico, Mongolia, New Zealand, Sweden and Australia. He was integral to the major mining development of the Svartliden gold mine in Scandinavia. In addition, Mr Hannon was the Director for the Bankable Feasibility Study of Fortescue Metals Group’s Solomon mine. The Solomon mine at 60 million tons per annum iron ore production was the single biggest tonnage start up mine in Australia’s mining history. The feasibility was signed off for construction by the Fortescue Board with full Environmental Approval in under 18 months.
Mr Hannon will be very important towards advancing Buxton’s strong project portfolio, with a particular focus on advancing the Company’s highly prospective nickel-copper projects in the Fraser Range, advancing the Company’s very high grade Yalbra Graphite Project through economic studies and pursuing corporate growth strategies.
Buxton Resources Chairman, Seamus Cornelius, commented:
“We are delighted to have attracted an executive of the caliber of Mr Hannon. His experience and capabilities, both from an exploration, mine development and corporate leadership standpoint, will be an asset to Buxton and provide an additional level of expertise and knowledge to the Company.”
The appointment will take effect from 1st November 2014.
Buxton also advises that Mr Anthony Maslin will move to a Non-Executive Director role. As Managing Director, Mr Maslin has been instrumental in positioning the Company in the very promising position it is in today.
