Opening of Perth Office And Publication of Supplementary Prospectus
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 03/16/11 -- The Directors of GGG Resources (AIM: GGG) today announce that David McArthur has been appointed to its Board as Finance Director with immediate effect.
David Maxwell McArthur, 53, has been the Chief Financial Officer of GGG Australia Ltd, the Perth based-wholly-owned subsidiary of GGG Resources plc for the past six months. He was responsible for setting up GGG's new office in Perth, Western Australia, following GGG's acquisition of the Bullabulling gold mining property in May 2010.
A qualified chartered accountant, David McArthur has specialised in the corporate and project management of publicly listed companies in the resources sector for the past 28 years. He has extensive board experience in the management and administration of the corporate, financial and operational aspects of mining companies, including involvement in taking projects from early stages through to operations.
In 1988, David was CFO and part of the team that developed, and subsequently produced gold, from the Kundana gold mine just outside Kalgoorlie. As a member of the executive committee, David helped take the project through resource identification, pre feasibility, bankable feasibility, plant construction and open cut mining.
In 1997, David was appointed CFO of Dioro Exploration NL, an ASX-listed Kalgoorlie-based gold company, producing over 100,000 ounces of gold per annum. In 2000 he was appointed Dioro's Finance Director, where he worked for a further 10 years prior to Dioro being taken over by Avoca Resources. As the Finance Director he helped take the company's project from first discovery through open pit mining then subsequently underground mining.
Jeff Malaihollo, Managing Director of GGG Resources, comments:
'We are delighted to announce David's appointment to the GGG Board as the Finance Director. David's appointment and the opening of our office in Perth are indications of our commitment to grow GGG in Western Australia and become a significant gold producer in the greater Kalgoorlie district, a task we believe David is ideally placed to assist with given his extensive executive experience in gold mining in Kalgoorlie. David is our first senior appointment in Australia, and he will be part of a growing Perth-based team with responsibility for Bullabulling, the exciting gold project which we plan to have back in production in 2013.'
