Toronto, April 3, 2018 - KWG Resources Inc. (CSE: KWG.A) (CSE: KWG) (OTC: KWGBF) (FSE: KW6) ("KWG") is very pleased to announce that David Crotin has been appointed President & Chief Executive Officer of FERROCHROME DIGITAL CORP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of KWG. David has also agreed to be appointed to the Board of Directors of KWG in place of Thomas Pladsen following his recent resignation, such appointment expected to be made at the next meeting of KWG's Board of Directors.

David Crotin brings 25 years of experience in the capital markets to KWG via roles at the Toronto Stock Exchange, at startup Versus Technologies (bought by E*Trade), at RBC Dominion Securities as an algo-specialist pro-trader in the Canadian Equity Derivatives Group and at GFB Arbitrage Inc which he co-founded and managed for 15 years.
