Boss Energy Limited (ASX: BOE; OTCQX: BQSSF) is pleased to advise that it has appointed highly experienced mining professional James Davidson as General Manager of its Honeymoon uranium project. Mr Davidson, who is based in Adelaide, South Australia, started his career in the mining industry at Rio Tinto's Technology Development Centre before moving to Senior Metallurgist roles at Mt Gordon Copper and then at ERA's Ranger Uranium Mine. In 2004, he was recruited to undertake a key Technical Development role for Heathgate Resources in the expansion of the Beverley Uranium Mine.

In 2006, he joined Uranium Equities (UEQ) as General Manager of Urtek, developing ion exchange technology, and acted as the Principal Process Engineer for the engineering team developing the prefeasibility study for the Olympic Dam Expansion Project as well as undertaking numerous In-situ Recovery and conventual uranium project evaluations, as potential M&A targets for UEQ. In 2012, he co-founded Inception Consulting Engineers, where he was involved in detailed reviews of uranium operations worldwide, including Kazakhstan, the US and Australia (including Kintyre, ERA, Westmoreland, Valhalla, Olympic Dam and others). He was a Senior Process Engineer for the engineering team developing BHP's Brownfields Expansion and the Lead Engineer role for the development of an ion exchange system for BHP's Olympic Dam project. Recently, he has been developing a process for extracting uranium from phosphates and working with Alligator Energy on the development of the Samphire Project.

With vast experience in the uranium sector, including key technical, operational and/or management roles in all four of Australia's recent uranium operations, Mr Davidson is well-equipped to lead the Honeymoon project to success. With strong technical knowledge of the Honeymoon operation, having led teams for the development, implementation, and construction of the IX pilot plant for Boss' Honeymoon Field Leach trial in 2017, he will be an invaluable asset to the team.

Boss Managing Director Duncan Craib said: 'James has immense experience across project management and construction, with a particular emphasis on uranium metallurgy and operations. 'This knowledge will be invaluable as we advance development of Honeymoon and prepare for commissioning and steady-state production'. Boss is also pleased to advise that it has appointed Jacobus ('Kobus') van Rooyen as Construction Manager. Mr van Rooyen has a strong track record comprising more than 30 years' experience of structural, mechanical, and electrical experience, managing and executing major development projects. Mr Craib said: 'Kobus is a team player, having held and achieved key senior roles as a multi-disciplined Construction Manager, effectively managing resources to deliver small scale all the way through to mega project objectives and deliverables safely, on time and within budget. 'He will further bolster our team as construction at Honeymoon ramps up'
