BROCKMAN APPOINTS GENERAL MANAGER –

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

Western Australian iron ore company, Brockman Resources Limited (ASX Code: BRM), has added further depth to its senior management team with the appointment of experienced project management executive, Mr Paul Bartlett, to the newly created position of General Manager – Project Development.

Mr Bartlett has 33 years experience in engineering, construction and mining operations in the resource sector, and joins Brockman from a senior role with project management, engineering and construction specialists, Calibre Projects Pty Ltd.

He has extensive experience in the Western Australian iron ore industry, having played key project management roles for Calibre Projects, JR Engineering and Roche Mining at projects including the West Angelas 25mt/annum expansion project, the Marandoo Upgrade Project, the Yandi Expansion project and the Rio Tinto Brockman No. 2 Plant Upgrade.

Mr Bartlett was most recently General Manager – Engineering Services for Calibre Projects, having previously held a range of senior positions with the Calibre group in Queensland and WA. Prior to joining Calibre, he was Senior Project Manager for JR Engineering, Project Manager with Roche Mining, Project Manager for CSR – AWP Contractors and Construction Manager for CSR – Construction Materials.

Commenting on the appointment, Brockman’s Managing Director, Mr Wayne Richards, said he was very pleased to have attracted someone of Mr Bartlett’s calibre and hands-on experience in the Pilbara iron ore industry to take up the key role of General Manager – Project Development.

“Paul has an outstanding career track record in the delivery and execution of major projects in the iron ore industry, as well as a range of other areas of the mining and resource sector,” Mr Richards said. “He has a commitment to the delivery of project goals and broad experience in project management, concept development and study management.

“He will play a key role within our organisation in managing the Feasibility Study and development of the Marillana Iron Ore Project as we move to accelerate our activities this year,” he added. “Paul has been attracted to Brockman because of the quality of our asset base and the excellent potential of the Marillana Project to underpin a long-term iron ore business.”

Brockman last week announced an upgraded JORC Code compliant resource for the Marillana Project totalling 1.1 billion tonnes of haematite mineralisation. The resource encompasses both Channel Iron Deposits (CID’s) with grades ranging from 55-60% Fe (55% Fe cut-off) and detrital ore with grades ranging from 40-62% Fe.
