Cornish Lithium Ltd has appointed two new senior team members as it continues to develop its portfolio of battery metals projects in Cornwall.
The mineral explorer and developer said Patrick Forward, who is a qualified person in relation to NI 43-101 and JORC reporting, has been as hired as head of project development for hard rock minerals.
The company highlighted that Forward has "a wealth of experience" in developing a multitude of hard rock base and precious metals projects, including being responsible for European Goldfields (TSX:EGU)' mining operations, project developments and exploration across various projects in Greece, Romania and elsewhere, including feasibility work, basic engineering and financing. Most recently he was chief operating officer for Euromax Resources.
His experience will "prove invaluable as the company moves towards the publication of its maiden resource at its Trelavour hard rock project, the company said.
Cornish Lithium also appointed Henry Chalcraft as its land agent, who has worked in both land management and minerals extraction, with this combination of experience expected to be of great benefit as the company looks to consolidate its mineral rights portfolio and foster its diverse land use relationships.
Jeremy Wrathall, founder and chief executive of the company, said: “We are delighted to continue to attract such high calibre individuals as we work towards the development of our exciting portfolio. They will be joining us at a busy time as we work towards the publication of the maiden resource statement at Trelavour and the commissioning of the pilot plant at United Downs. These activities will be key milestones in our journey to establish an innovative minerals extraction industry for Cornwall and the UK.”
