Marketwired Canada
Energizer Resources Inc. (TSX:EGZ)(OTCQX:ENZR)(FRANKFURT:YE5) ("Energizer" or
the "Company") is pleased to announce we have appointed Mr. Robin Borley,
B.Tech, Mining Engineering to fill the position of Senior Vice-President - Mine
Development and he will also become a Director of the Company effective December
1, 2013. A short Bio and Education profile for Robin is presented further down
this release.
Peter Harder, Chairman commented: "On behalf of the board, I am delighted to
welcome Robin to the board of directors. Robin's many years of experience in
mine development will add to our strategic focus in bringing the mine into
production."
"We look forward to getting Robin 'on board' and together our team will work
diligently to advance the Molo Project in 2014 and deliver on our promises to
shareholders."
Richard Schler, CEO commented: "We are extremely pleased that Robin has chosen
to join our Energizer team as it significantly strengthens our Company not only
from a mine engineering and technical perspective but also from the management
side of the business."
"Having Robin involved from the 'ground floor' of the BFS and mine development
process will ensure that we complete the mine build on time and on budget. His
experience will be invaluable as we strive to achieve our stated goal of
designing and building an operational mine by 2016 with the overriding objective
of being a low cost producer of graphite concentrate products."
SVP- Mine Development
Robin's role will be to oversee all matters related to the development of the
Company's flagship Molo Graphite Project as it moves toward mine construction
and production.
This would primarily include oversight of the Bankable Feasibility Study ("BFS")
and DRA Mineral Projects (retained as our Engineering, Procurement, and
Construction Management Contractor - "EPCM"), and hands on involvement in the
mine design, construction and commissioning phases. He will also be 'front and
center' for overseeing the initial years of operation which will be contracted
to DRA Mineral Projects through its wholly owned Minopex Division. We will also
lean on Robin to utilize his vast network of global contacts in the mining and
finance communities to facilitate mine project financing and solidify
arrangements with both strategic and off-take partners.
It is notable that Robin has great synergistic experience having recently
completed a BFS while Chief Operating Officer of Red Island Minerals for the
Sakoa Coal Field Project in Madagascar. This will prove invaluable as we move to
complete a BFS for the Molo Graphite project located a mere 30 kilometers away
from Sakoa.
