Jutt Holdings is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr Tim Sugden as the Company’s Managing Director with immediate effect.

Dr Sugden holds a Bachelor of Science (Geology) and a Doctor of Philosophy (Geology). He has over 20 years experience in mine geology, exploration, metallurgy, research and development, operations and company management in Australia and internationally.

Dr Sugden said he was attracted to join Jutt as Managing Director because of excellent recent exploration results from its 90% interest in the Liberty-Indee discovery in Western Australia’s Pilbara region.

“My aim is to deliver value to shareholders by building a base metals and gold company with assets in Australia, South East Asia and Africa. Our initial focus will be further exploring the extent of the LibertyIndee volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) discovery.”

Dr Sugden was formerly the Managing Director of Nova Energy Limited (NEL) and Agincourt Resources Limited (AGC), and a NonExecutive Director of Toro Energy Limited (TOE) and Navigator Resources Limited (NAV).

Agincourt Resources and Nova Energy experienced rapid growth during Dr Sugden’s tenure with both companies ultimately taken over for a combined valuation of over $650 million. Previously Dr Sugden was a senior manager and geologist for Newmont Australia, Normandy Mining, Great Central Mines, Wiluna Mines and Western Mining Corporation.

“Tim’s experience and proven track record in overseeing the acquisition, discovery and development of resources is a significant step in realising Jutt’s ambitions to move from explorer to producer,” Jutt Chairman Mr Charles Morgan said. “Jutt has undertaken extensive initial exploration work at Liberty-Indee which increases our confidence in the assets. Tim’s appointment is recognition that the company has reached an important milestone.”

Jutt has placed 3.85 million shares at $0.10 a share with a free attaching option exercisable at $0.20 on or before 31 July 2009 to a group of sophisticated investors.

Dr Sugden will subscribe (subject to shareholders’ approval) for 3.5 million shares at $0.10 a share with a free attaching option exercisable at $0.20 on or before 31 July 2009 as part of the placement.

Jutt will also undertake a one for four non-renounceable entitlements issue at $0.10 with a free attaching option exercisable at $0.20 on or before 31 July 2009.

The placement is managed by, and the entitlements issue underwritten by, Argonaut Capital Limited. The placement and entitlements issue will raise approximately $2.5 million before costs to fund exploration at Liberty-Indee and for general working capital purposes.
