November 29 2017 - 7:54AM
Heron Resources Limited (ASX:HRR TSX:HER) “Heron” or the “Company”
is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Ian Pattison to the
Board as a Non-executive Director.
Dr. Pattison is a highly respected metallurgist
with over 30 years of Australian and international experience. His
early career was with CRA where he held senior roles in operations,
engineering and then as Metallurgy Manager in their base metal
division. He joined Denehurst following their purchase of the
Woodlawn Mine from CRA to take on an Executive Director role with
the Woodlawn and Benambra mines. This was followed by Director and
Managing Director roles in the nutrition industries mainly with the
German based Henkel/Cognis companies. For the past 10 years he has
been the Group Manager Metallurgy for the Australian operations of
Japan’s Toho Zinc which incorporates the construction of the Rasp
Mine in Broken Hill and operations at the Endeavor Mine at
Cobar.
Heron Resources Chairman, Mr Stephen Dennis,
welcomed Dr. Pattison’s appointment:
“We are very pleased to welcome Ian to the
Board. Ian’s strong base metal metallurgical background and his
previous experience at Woodlawn during the Denehurst days will be
invaluable as we redevelop the mine and commence operations late
next year. Ian’s more recent experience with the construction and
commissioning of the Rasp Mine in NSW will also greatly assist us
as we progress through these phases at Woodlawn. Ian joins the
Heron Board at an important stage of mine development, and we look
forward to his contribution to ensure the success of our
operations.”
