b. John Barton and Mark Pitt appointed as engineering consultants
Western-Australian mining exploration and development company GGG Resources plc (AIM: GGG) is pleased to announce the appointment of a Technical Sub-Committee to co-ordinate the feasibility and development of the Bullabulling gold mine in Western Australia. The Technical Sub-Committee will be chaired by Michael Short, with geological and resource expansion input by the company's Technical Director Ciceron Angeles and Managing Director Jeff Malaihollo.
Michael Short is a Civil Engineer with over 35 years of project management and site construction experience on a broad range of mining projects. For the last 30 years he has focussed on the engineering, design and construction of gold and base metal treatment plants. Michael is the Managing Director of GBM Minerals Engineering Consultants Limited. His previous experience includes work on projects in the Coolgardie region and in other areas of Western Australia.
In addition, the Company is pleased to announce the appointments of John Barton and Mark Pitt as engineering consultants to the Company.
The new consultants will be working with the Technical Sub-Committee of GGG Resources plc on the reopening of Bullabulling, a former gold mine in the Coolgardie Goldfields of Western Australia.
John Barton is a Mineral Processing Engineer who was the past President of the Western Australian Mining Club and held various managerial positions in major engineering and geological/mining consulting firms in Perth. He has over 40 years' experience and strong project management skills, in particular his experience embraces developing new or upgrading existing mining projects, including the preparation of feasibility studies to bankable standard.
Mark Pitt is a Mining Engineer with over 40 years of experience. He specialises in rejuvenating mines and projects that have stalled or been abandoned by previous operators. More recently he was a Director and Chief Operating Officer of Dioro Exploration NL, with a focus on the operating Jubilee and Frog's Leg gold mines to the west of Kalgoorlie, prior to its takeover by Avoca Resources.
Peter Ruxton, Chairman of GGG Resources, comments:
"We are delighted to announce the formation of the Technical Sub-Committee of the GGG Board and the appointment of two highly experienced engineering consultants with West Australian experience. Our intention is now to focus on fast-tracking both resource expansion and project development at Bullabulling to maximise shareholder value during the current high-price gold market window. Should we gain sufficient control over the Bullabulling project, our plan is to accelerate the resource definition and expansion programme, and to run in parallel with all aspects of feasibility and development studies. Given its previous mining history, Bullabulling presents a unique opportunity to fast-track development and financing to put this historical gold mine back into production as soon as possible."
