Nevada Copper VP Appointed as SME President-Designate
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Feb 26, 2014) -
Nevada Copper Corp. (TSX:NCU) ("Nevada Copper" or "Company") is
pleased to announce that Mr. Timothy Arnold, Vice President
Operations for Nevada Copper, has been named by the Society for
Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration's ("SME") Nominating Committee
as its candidate for President-elect Designate. Subject to
ratification in February of 2015, Mr. Arnold would serve as
President of the Society from February 2016 to February 2017.
Giulio Bonifacio, President and CEO, stated: "We are in a
very exciting phase at our Pumpkin Hollow project where we are
adding top caliber professionals to our senior team. To attract a
person of Tim's caliber and experience this past October is a major
accomplishment and further complements our team. Tim has hit the
ground running to provide the leadership of our construction and
operations team."
Mr. Arnold is a Registered Professional Mining Engineer with
more than 30 years of experience in mine engineering, underground
and open-pit mine operations, 12 of those years on Nevada mining
projects. As previously reported, Mr. Arnold's past experience
includes being the General Manager at the Mt. Hope and Liberty
molybdenum projects for General Moly, Inc. in Nevada, primarily
responsible for building the Mt. Hope operating team, developing
operating systems, processes and policies, coordinating the
transition to start-up, and managing local stakeholder
relationships. Prior to that, Mr. Arnold was Vice President and
General Manager of Coeur d'Alene Mines where he managed the
underground Kensington Gold Mine project. Mr. Arnold also held the
position of Vice President and General Manager at the Coeur
Rochester mine, a silver/gold open pit operation in Nevada. During
his tenure at the Rochester mine, it was ranked as one of safest
medium-sized mines in Nevada by the Nevada Mining Association. Mr.
Arnold's other roles included General Manager of Hecla's Lucky
Friday mine, Mine Superintendent of Barrick's Bullfrog mine and
Senior Underground Operations Engineer with Independence
Mining.
Mr. Arnold stated: "It is an honor and a privilege to be
nominated for this position. SME is a professional society with
more than 15,000 professional members serving the minerals industry
in more than 85 countries. It has provided invaluable service to
the industry over the years. I believe strongly that people are a
mining company's greatest asset, and one of SME's core values is to
be the resource and advocate for the mining community by developing
the skills and knowledge of its members. My most exciting challenge
over the next several years is, not only to help build the physical
assets of Nevada Copper's Pumpkin Hollow copper project, but to
also help build a safe workforce for our Stage 1 underground
operation for over 400 people."
The Stage 1 underground mine is scheduled for initial ramp-up of
production in late 2015, and will have a permanent workforce of
approximately 400 people. Nevada Copper also seeks to expedite the
development of the Stage 2 open pit operation pending passage of
the Lyon County Economic Development and Conservation Act in
Congress. Passage of that bill would more than double the number of
mine jobs, 2-3 years sooner, to a total combined workforce of
approximately 1,000 workers. That is in addition to the
approximately 200-500 workers who will be needed for construction
of those two stages of the project.
Nevada Copper also announces the launch of its newly-updated
corporate website: www.nevadacopper.com. This website, with its new
user interface, will make it easier for users to access the most
sought after information such as news releases, corporate
presentations and financial statements, as well as technical
information on mineral reserves and resources related to the
Pumpkin Hollow project. The site also has a link to the Pumpkin
Hollow project website www.pumpkinhollowcopper.com that focuses on
project activities and stories important to the local and Nevada
community.
