Marketwired
OTTAWA, ONTARIO (TSX VENTURE: KNB)(FRANKFURT: 3KG.DE) is pleased
to announce the appointment of Mr. Bryan Nethery, P. Eng., M.B.A.
("Nethery") to Kinbauri's Board of Directors. Nethery will be
actively assisting Kinbauri with advice and direction regarding its
mine and mill development and maintenance plans together with
financial planning as it moves through feasibility and
pre-production development at El Valle during 2008 and 2009.
Mr. Nethery received his B.A.Sc. in Metallurgical Engineering
from the University of British Columbia in 1971 and received a
M.B.A. from the same university in 1981. He is a Professional
Engineer (BC) and Member of the Canadian Institute of Mining and
Metallurgy. Mr. Nethery has over 30 years of domestic and
international senior management and metallurgical engineering
experience. He has extensive experience in all aspects of mining
project development, from scoping studies, pre-feasibility studies,
"bankable" feasibility studies, metallurgical studies, valuations
and due diligence studies, as well as leading the design,
procurement, construction and startup of major mining projects. His
career has included work in project controls, estimating, contract
administration, financial analysis, project finance, risk analysis,
and construction management. Technically, he has extensive
experience in gold, copper, lead-zinc, iron ore, nickel, as well as
hydrometallurgy, SX-EW, pressure oxidation and smelting.
Mr. Nethery was EPCM project manager for the Teck Cominco and
Sumitomo 2,500 tpd Pogo Project in Alaska where he led the project
through scoping, pre-feasibility studies, permitting, feasibility
study, and ultimately design and construction. The Pogo Project has
many similarities to the El Valle project; it is an underground
mine of comparable tonnage, the mine uses paste backfill made from
mill tailings, environmental issues were a key element in
permitting and development, and the process flowsheet has numerous
correlations.
From 1994-2005 he was employed by AMEC as Vice-President, Design
Build and his activities included business development,
negotiations on project development and financing and project
management. Previously he was a senior manager with Fluor Daniel
Wright and project manager on a number of EPCM projects including
the Marigold Gold Mine in Nevada, the Louvicourt Project in Quebec
and the Porco Mine in Bolivia, as well as major feasibility
studies. Since 2005, Nethery has been an independent consultant
involved in project and metallurgical consulting for various
clients. Mr. Nethery has worked in Spain on two major projects: the
expansion of the copper and gold plants for Rio Tinto Minera S.A.;
in addition he led the feasibility study on the Huelva Cooper
Smelter Expansion for Atlantic Copper at Huelva Spain. He is fluent
in Spanish.
Dr. Vern Rampton, Ph. Eng., President and CEO of Kinbauri
stated, "Bryan Nethery has been brought on as a Director to provide
the Board with project development expertise and technical support
to assist Kinbauri in moving the El Valle project through the
scoping and pre-feasibility study, and on to the feasibility study,
financing, and design and construction. I am very confident that
Bryan will be of great assistance in bringing El Valle to
production."
