Simon’s detailed knowledge of the region will enhance our potential for developing other opportunities, and his close relationships with our partners’ technical and operations staff will further strengthen the JV relationships, building on the excellent progress in recent months.”

Georgian Mining Corporation is pleased to announce that it has appointed Simon Cleghorn as Technical Services Manager. Mr Cleghorn, a highly experienced geologist, will be working with the Company’s 50% owned subsidiary, Georgian Copper & Gold JSC (‘GCG’), as it proceeds with the development of the Kvemo Bolnisi gold-copper project and undertakes further regional exploration at the 860 sq km licence located on the prolific Tethyan Belt in Georgia.
