SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Aug. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunergy, Inc (the
"Company") (OTC: SNEY - News) is pleased to announce that on
July 29, 2011 the Sunergy Board of
Directors voted to appoint Alexander
Beckmann, founder of Agricola GMBH, Cologne, Germany to the Sunergy Advisory
Board.
Beckmann has been actively working on Sunergy's Pampana heavy
mineral sands since May of this year. Speaking on the results,
Beckmann said, "I have received different samples from certain
areas of the Allied Mining & Supply Pampana River sand deposit
in Sierra Leone and have performed
preliminary mineralogical investigations and separation tests. The
wide, unusual but rich mineral compositions are indicators for a
highly valuable deposit."
Sunergy President, Bryan Miller,
presented the advisory board position to Beckmann last month in
Cologne while observing him
performing bench scale separation on the Pampana River sands.
Miller, speaking on the appointment, stated, "We now have access to
the scarce expertise required to develop the Pampana project. The
number of experts in this particular area of metals mining is
extremely limited outside of China. The great potential of our Sierra Leone project certainly helped convince
Beckmann to accept the Sunergy Board position."
Alexander Beckmann has 20 years'
experience in applied mineralogy, mining, extraction/mineral
processing, processing of non-iron metals, process engineering and
optimization, cost reduction of existing processes and material
science. He has had project involvements in Africa, Asia,
Australia, Europe, South
America, and has been a consultant for major mining and
smelting companies in Asia and
South America. Beckmann founded
Agricola in 2001, having invented and been granted patents for new
processes for copper, precious metals and PGEs at the end of the
'90s. He also invented new processes for the dearsenification of
non iron concentrates (i.e. copper). He joined the Faculty of
Applied Mineralogy at the University of Cologne in 2000, using this time to develop
the technology further. Prior to this, he spent several years as a
prospector in Southern Africa.
During this time he also worked on selective inductive microwave
heating of minerals in order to change physical properties of
minerals and elements for new process designs i.e. as a potential
separation method. Following the completion of his Masters Degrees
in Applied and Specific Mineralogy, Physical Metallurgy, Geology
and Ore Mineralogy, Alexander joined the Deutsche Luft-und
Raumfahrt (DLR, German Aerospace and Aviation Centre) in the
department of material science, before moving into a role as
assistant to the Vice CEO, responsible for the areas of aviation,
satellites, personnel, controlling & law. Beckmann also has
undergraduate degrees in Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics.
