Malaga Inc. ("MLG")(TSX:MLG)(OTCQX:MLGAF) announces the appointment
of Fernando Pajuelo as General Manager in charge of mining
operations at the Company's Pasto Bueno tungsten mine in Peru. Mr.
Pajuelo will report directly to Malaga's President and CEO, Mr.
Pierre Monet.
Mr. Pajuelo is a seasoned professional with extensive experience
in managing both underground and open pit mining operations in
South America. Born in Peru, he is a mining engineer and financial
analyst.
Mr. Pajuelo's professional experience encompasses more than
twenty years in the mining industry, most recently at Panamerican
where he served as Operations Manager and Assistant General Manager
since 2010. Prior to that, he was Mining Operations Manager at
Glencore Argentina (2005-2008) as well as Operational Manager at
Glencore Peru (1996-2005). Additionally, Mr. Pajuelo has solid
knowledge in strategic planning, project execution and development,
and cost control initiatives in most mining sectors.
"I am very pleased to welcome Fernando to our growing team in
Peru, and look forward optimizing Malaga's mining operations,"
commented Pierre Monet. "His deep mining expertise, ability to work
and deal with different communities in Peru and Argentina, and
strong experience with environmental and safety, will be
significant assets to Malaga."
Mr. Monet noted that Ivan Quiroz will continue to report to him
in the role of Vice President of Research and Development. "Malaga
has enormous potential, and with talented employees like Mr.
Pajuelo and Mr. Quiroz, it will continue its growth," he said.
While Malaga is moving forward on many fronts, its key
objectives are to increase tungsten production to meet growing
global demand - that's being driven by no new significant
production and a decrease in China's tungsten exports - as well as
continuing to explore and improve the resource potential of its
Pasto Bueno mine.
ABOUT MALAGA INC.

resources.
