Ferrum Crescent Ltd (LON:FCR) has beefed up the technical contingent of its management team with the appointment of Myles Campion as a technical consultant.
A geologist and fund manager, Campion's financial experience ranges from Australian and UK equities research through to project and debt financing in London, said Ferrum.
His prime responsibilities at Ferrum will be to oversee all geological aspects of the company's operations and to advise on growth and exploration activities.

Ferrum also said its current drill programme at Toral in Spain was progressing on schedule.
Visual identification of lead-zinc associated minerals in the core extracted from the completed holes to date has bolstered confidence in its original geological model, it said.
Justin Tooth, executive chairman, said: "Having Myles Campion join us a technical consultant is a fantastic and timely opportunity to complement the existing expertise of our senior team.
“His extensive experience as both an exploration geologist and a resources fund manager provides us with real strength in the skill sets that we now require to deliver optimal value as we progress with drilling on our main lead-zinc project at Toral.”
