Andrew King, Interim Chairman of Anglesey Mining, commented: “On behalf of the Anglesey Mining board, we are delighted to welcome Rob as our new CEO to head up the development of the Parys Mountain project and optimise the Company’s iron ore investments. In setting our brief for the role, we knew the right candidate had to be not only an experienced mining executive, but a person also in possession of the requisite corporate skills to step into a high-profile role and engage with all stakeholders, including our shareholders and the community and local government in regions in which the Company operates. Rob possesses an abundance of experience, both as an engineer and as an accomplished operator at an executive level. Having already spent some time with him at Parys Mountain, it is clear Rob has the skillset to oversee the evolution and development of Parys Mountain and, like us, he is enthused by the latest drilling results and grade continuity. As we await the assay results for drill hole NCZ003, I am very much looking forward to his input and perspective as we seek to progress both this project and the Company more generally in the future.”
Incoming CEO Rob Marsden commented: “I am pleased and excited to be joining Anglesey Mining as CEO at such a pivotal time for the Company and the Parys Mountain project. I very much enjoyed spending time at the mine with Andrew and former CEO Jo Battershill, meeting the Team and examining the latest exploration drill cores, and I’m looking forward to starting work and building on the exciting opportunities I see at Anglesey.”
