KEY PERSONNEL APPOINTMENTS
4[th] July 2011
ASX – MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT
African-focused iron ore exploration and development company Waratah Resources Limited (Waratah) (ASX: WGO) is pleased to announce that Mr Ian Brown has been appointed to the position of Exploration Manager.
Mr Brown is a qualified geologist who holds a Bachelor of Science (Geology, Geography Environmental Science) from Rhodes University in South Africa. In his role with Waratah he will be responsible for the exploration program at the Company’s lead project, the Youkou Iron Ore project in the Republic of Congo, in West Africa.
Mr Brown has considerable experience in managing exploration projects in many African countries. His commodity experience includes base metals, iron-ore, coal, gold, fluorite, and platinum group metals.
Importantly, Mr Brown was recently a Senior Geologist at the Zanaga Iron Ore Project in Congo-Brazzaville, where he was responsible for the feasibility resource drilling program. This role provided an ideal background in commodity and region for his new role with Waratah.
Waratah’s Managing Director William Witham said: “We are delighted to have Ian working with us. He brings a broad combination of geological and African experience and importantly has recent iron ore experience in the Republic of Congo.”
Waratah has secured a very experienced team of core personnel including Mr Martin Booth as Drilling and Logistics Manager, Mr Stephen Smithyman as African Manager, and Mr Brown, who all have had many years experience in West and Southern Africa.
Waratah plans to commence drilling at the Youkou project in August, with two rigs that are owned by Waratah. Drilling will target high-grade hematite, direct shipping ore (DSO) prospects within the project area, with the aim of defining a JORC compliant resource estimate.
