Wolf Minerals Limited Announces New General Manager

Wolf Minerals Limited (ASX:WLF, LON:WLFE) has today announced that it has appointed Mr Alan Fearon to the position of General Manager, Drakelands Mine near Hemerdon in southwest England with effect from 6 April 2016.

Mr Fearon is a metallurgical graduate from the Camborne School of Mines in the UK with over 20 years’ experience in general manager and processing manager roles in Australia, the UK and Africa with a number of large mining companies.

Mr Fearon will take over from Wolf’s long serving Operations Manager at the Drakelands Mine, Mr Jeff Harrison, who is retiring from full time employment. Mr Harrison has been instrumental in the development of the Drakelands Mine and the Company thanks him for his significant contribution to Wolf and the establishment of the first metal mine in the UK for almost 50 years.

Wolf Minerals Limited Managing Director, Russell Clark, said “Jeff Harrison has made an extensive and very important contribution to the development of the Drakelands Mine and we wish him well for a well-earned, long and happy retirement.

We are very pleased to welcome Alan Fearon to the Wolf team. His wide-ranging experience in managing large mining and processing operations in environmentally sensitive areas with nearby communities will be invaluable as we continue to ramp-up the operation to full production.”

Prior to joining Wolf and his role as General Manager at Barrick’s Cowal mine, Mr Fearon held General Manager positions at Barrick’s Lawlers mine and Iluka’s Narngulu Facility, both in Western Australia. He also gained extensive experience as the Processing Manager at the large KCGM mine, (WA, Australia) and as the Production and Plant Manager at Newmont’s Tanami operation (NT, Australia). Mr Fearon is a Member of the Institute of Metals, Mining, Metallurgy, UK and a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy.
