The new roles – Woodlawn general manager and Woodlawn process manager– went to Brian Hearne and Des O’Sullivan respectively.
Hearne did 16-years at Woodlawn in the 1970s and ’80s and also worked for Xstrata, while O’Sullivan is a qualified process metallurgist with about 30 years’ experience in the metals industry.
Heron Resources managing director and CEO Wayne Taylor said the key roles would strengthen the team as the project financing process was completed and preparations made for project construction.
“We have taken the opportunity to make these early appointments to augment in-house capacity as we progress into finalisation of process-plant and site design,” he said.
Taylor said both men would bring extensive base metals experience, and Hearne’s personal knowledge of Woodlawn and the metallurgically challenging McArthur River mine could prove invaluable.
“These two new members to the Heron team are suitably skilled to assist the company to move through the next milestones at Woodlawn in the pathway to first production,” he said.
