Someone at NAR must be reading our posts. Today's NR has established the connection between good promotion and the fact that the hiring of a person is a key position with an excellent resume speaks volumes for the company's potential going foward. The last couple of paragraphs (dealing with a bulk sample) is significant enough to constitute a NR all on it's own. Do we have a good feeling on this one?

Mr. George Elliott reports
James W. Reeves has been appointed as the company's director of metallurgy.
Mr. Reeves joins the company following a long and distinguished career at
DuPont Corporation of Wilmington, Del. He is recognized as one of the
world's leading authorities on titanium processing technologies. Mr. Reeves
is presently co-ordinating and supervising all technical matters regarding
the company's joint venture project with Titanium Corporation of Canada
Ltd. Mr. Reeves will assume responsibility for the assessment of the
titanium ore mineralogy, mineral processing, the process metallurgy and
various economic evaluations.
While at DuPont, Mr. Reeves developed metallurgical technologies to enhance
the economic feasibility of titanium orebodies for use as pigment
feedstocks. His early assignments at DuPont included the development of
improved processes for chlorination of a wide range of titanium ores, the
exploration for new ore deposits, their evaluation, and the development of
ilmenite upgrading and waste processing technologies. During his last 15
years at DuPont, he was responsible for all titanium processing research
and development related to DuPont's titanium chloride technology. Mr.
Reeves was honoured by being made a DuPont fellow in 1990.
Mr. Reeves holds 24 patents and is the author of 10 publications regarding
his area of expertise. He is a member of the Metallurgical Society, the
American Institute of Chemical Engineers, the Institution of Mining and
Metallurgy, and the American Chemical Society. He was a member of the first
National Materials Advisory Board panel embodied to address the long-term
viability and global strength of the U.S. titanium metal industry.
NAR Resources recently completed extracting a four-tonne bulk sample of
heavy mineral concentrate from its extensive deposit located near Truro,
N.S., Canada. Concentrate is currently being sent to the facilities of
Hicom International in North Ryde, New South Wales, Australia, and to the
Inprosys Lab in Golden, Colo., where evaluation and metallurgical bench
scale work studies will begin. This enhanced mineral processing program
includes grinding studies, gravity, magnetic and electrostatic separation
of minerals, a magnetizing roast, and final evaluations of all mineral
products.
The program is designed to establish the most applicable processing method
for maximum recovery of the different contained economic minerals. These
results will assist the company in its continuing plant development. This
deposit of titanium bearing heavy mineral sands extends approximately 69
square kilometres (27 square miles) along the Shubenacadie River northward
to the eastern reaches of Cobequid Bay in Nova Scotia.
WARNING: The company relies on litigation protection for "forward-looking"
statements.
