WPG Resources Ltd. has appointed Cornel Parshotam, its current Chief Operating Officer and Alternate Director to Gary Jones, as Technical Director effective immediately. Gary Jones has signaled his intention to retire as a Director of WPG effective from the conclusion of the Company's AGM to be held on 28 November 2017 and Cornel's appointment to the Board in his own right paves the way for Cornel to step fully into Gary's shoes when he retires. Cornel has held a broad range of senior management positions in underground and open pit gold and base metal mining operations and processing in Africa and Australasia, at scales varying from small to large including Head of Operations and General Manager Mine at BHP Billiton's Olympic Dam mine in South Australia. Cornel lives in Adelaide and his appointment to the Board reinforces the Company's commitment to have Board members resident in South Australia where its project assets are located.
