Beowulf Mining plc
("Beowulf" or the "Company")
Appointment of Stakeholder Communications Officer in
Jokkmokk
Beowulf (AIM: BEM; Aktietorget: BEO), the mineral exploration
and development company, focused on the Kallak magnetite iron ore
project and the Åtvidaberg polymetallic exploration licence in
Sweden, and its graphite portfolio in Finland, is pleased to
announce the appointment of Afnan Khabiri to the position of
Stakeholder Communications Officer.
Afnan will be based in Jokkmokk and will lead the Company's
communication efforts in the community. As the Kallak project
progresses, Afnan will manage the distribution of information, as
we initiate a Scoping Study, and as we share our plans and ideas on
the development of a modern and sustainable mining operation, with
our stakeholders. Afnan will be the local contact for the
community, and will assist in the formation of the local
partnerships that we believe are necessary to ensuring that Kallak
is a success, and that all members of the community benefit.
Afnan is 24 years old, and grew up in Södertälje, south of
Stockholm. He has lived in Jokkmokk for the last four years, during
which time he has used his passion for football to bring together
refugees, who have made their home in Jokkmokk, and the local
community. Afnan started this work with the objective to improve
the integration process for refugees into Swedish society. The
football team that Afnan started, and coaches, has fifty per cent
refugees and fifty per cent local youths, and the club has expanded
from two to ten teams, with men, boys and girls participating,
across age categories. Afnan is a Member of the Board of the
football club, Jokkmokks SK.
Afnan's achievements through football have deepened friendships
amongst teammates, their understanding of each other, and helped to
encourage social cohesion in Jokkmokk.
On 24 April 2017, Afnan received a scholarship (The Compass
Rose) from His Majesty, The King of Sweden, for his leadership
achievements. The scholarship is awarded to young leaders, who are
characterised by their courage, consideration for others, and using
the power of action to make positive change.

In employing Afnan, the Company has agreed to support his
activities with Jokkmokks SK, and the refugee centre where he is a
mentor and tutor.
Kurt Budge, CEO, commented:
"I am very pleased to welcome Afnan to the Company.
"In Afnan Khabiri and Morgan Snell, we have two young employees
who live in Jokkmokk, care deeply about the town and its people,
and who are working for a brighter future for their community.
"Afnan has lived in Jokkmokk for four years', and during that
time he has made a significant impact on the town's football club,
and worked to support the town's refugee population.
"Afnan understands the challenges facing Jokkmokk, and sees the
Kallak project as a real opportunity for all. We are glad to have
him as part of the team."
Afnan Khabiri commented:
"I am happy and grateful to have been given this opportunity to
join Beowulf Mining and to be part of the very interesting Kallak
project. I am looking forward to the possible long-term positive
benefits this project could have for the municipality of
Jokkmokk."
"Jag är glad och tacksam att ha fått möjligheten att jobba för
Beowulf Mining och vara en del av det intressanta projektet i
Kallak. Jag ser fram emot de eventuella fördelarna det här
projektet skulle kunna ha för Jokkmokks Kommun långsiktigt."
