Western Resources Corp. (TSX: WRX) (the "Company”) is pleased to
announce that its Regina-based subsidiary Western Potash Corp.
(“Western”) has an enhanced corporate and project management team.
Following the official kick-off of the Milestone Phase 1 Project
(the “Project”) in mid-May, Western established its Executive
Committee (“EC”) and Technical Committee (“TC”) to advance the
Project more effectively.
The EC is Western’s primary decision-making body
responsible for corporate strategy and development plan, company
policies and regulations, project key technical direction, and
project budget. The EC is chaired by Mr. Mark Fracchia and includes
Mr. Brandon Bartosh as a member. Mr. Fracchia has a track record of
accomplishments in leadership, strategy, vision and innovative
potash mining technology. He is also a current member of the board
of directors of the Company. Previously, he was President, PCS
Potash at PotashCorp (now Nutrien) and was a General Manager at
various potash sites. Mr. Bartosh is a world-class selective
solution mining expert with over 15 years of hands-on potash
operation and mining experience. He is currently the Operations
Director and Plant Manager of Western Potash.
The TC is an advisory committee providing advice
to the EC on the solution mining development plan and other key
technical issues. The TC includes the world’s foremost solution
mining and process engineering technical experts including Elmar
Goldsmith, Robert Plosz and Irwin Ewen. Mr. Goldsmith, widely known
as a pioneer of potash solution mining, led the technical
initiative for three potash mines in Saskatchewan. He also directed
a water inflow remediation project. Mr. Plosz is known for his 40+
years of practical experience in solution mining. He was general
manager of the largest solution mine in the world. Mr. Ewen is an
industry leading process engineer with special knowledge in potash
selective solution mining. The addition of these top technical
experts to the Western team is expected to significantly improve
Western’s solution mining plan.
Mr. Bill Xue, the Company’s Chairman and CEO
said, “I am very pleased to see the further enhancement of
Western’s corporate management and project technical teams. Western
is fortunate to have some of the world’s leading potash
professionals to help advance the project through their respective
capacities. We expect that the new team is the best fit for the
current stage of the Project’s development. As the Project moves
forward, Western expects to further refine and enhance these teams.
I look forward to witnessing the success of the Project.”
