Focus Appoints Timothy S. Oliver as Director of Projects
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jun 9, 2014) - Focus
Ventures Ltd. (TSX VVENTURE:FCV) is pleased to announce the
appointment of Mr. Timothy S. Oliver, PE, P.Eng. as Director of
Projects.
Mr. Oliver has 37 years in the international mining industry and
his most recent experience is strongly oriented towards the
supervision and management of mine feasibility studies and the
preliminary economic assessment of projects.
His primary role with Focus will be to establish the best
options for the planned process work for the Bayovar 12 phosphate
project in northern Peru, and to develop the engineering,
metallurgical and environmental roadmap for the project as it moves
through resource calculation to prefeasibility and bankable
feasibility engineering studies.
After graduating from New Mexico Institute of Mining and
Technology in 1976, Mr. Oliver began his mining career at Newmont
Mining Corporation's Magma Copper Company in San Manuel, Arizona.
Over the next 15 years he rose through the engineering and
managerial ranks at base and precious metal and phosphate mines in
the US and Chile for Exxon, Monsanto and Phelps Dodge. In 2003 he
joined M3 Engineering in Tucson, Arizona, where he managed NI
43-101 studies and served as qualified person (QP) for numerous
projects in Yukon Territory, Mexico and the USA. Tim returned to
independent consulting in 2013 covering assignments in the US and
Brazil. Mr. Oliver is a registered engineer in several US states
and a member of the Association of Professional Engineers and
Geoscientists of Alberta.
David Cass, the President of Focus, said: "I'd like to welcome
Tim to the Focus team, whose experience in the engineering,
planning and economic analysis of mining projects will contribute
greatly to our efforts at Bayovar 12 as the project moves quickly
forward. Tim will have the key role in coordinating and managing
the metallurgical, engineering and environmental aspects of the
project as we progress from resource definition to advanced
engineering studies in 2015."
