FOCUS APPOINTS TIMOTHY S. OLIVER AS DIRECTOR OF PROJECTS
Focus Ventures Ltd. has appointed Timothy S. Oliver, PE, PEng, as director of projects.
Mr. Oliver has 37 years in the international mining industry and his most recent experience is strongly oriented towards the supervision and management of mine feasibility studies and the preliminary economic assessment of projects.
His primary role with Focus will be to establish the best options for the planned process work for the Bayovar 12 phosphate project in northern Peru, and to develop the engineering, metallurgical and environmental roadmap for the project as it moves through resource calculation to prefeasibility and bankable feasibility engineering studies.
After graduating from New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology in 1976, Mr. Oliver began his mining career at Newmont Mining Corporation's Magma Copper Company in San Manuel, Arizona. Over the next 15 years he rose through the engineering and managerial ranks at base and precious metal and phosphate mines in the US and Chile for Exxon, Monsanto and Phelps Dodge. In 2003 he joined M3 Engineering in Tucson, Arizona, where he managed NI 43-101 studies and served as qualified person (QP) for numerous projects in Yukon Territory, Mexico and the USA. Tim returned to independent consulting in 2013 covering assignments in the US and Brazil. Mr. Oliver is a registered engineer in several US states and a member of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta.
David Cass, the President of Focus, said: "I'd like to welcome Tim to the Focus team, whose experience in the engineering, planning and economic analysis of mining projects will contribute greatly to our efforts at Bayovar 12 as the project moves quickly forward. Tim will have the key role in coordinating and managing the metallurgical, engineering and environmental aspects of the project as we progress from resource definition to advanced engineering studies in 2015." |
