Suvo Strategic Minerals (SUV) has appointed Dr Ian Wilson to the board as a Non-Executive Director, effective from September 1, 2020.
Dr Ian Wilson is a well-regarded Economic Geologist with 45 years’ global experience in the industrial minerals sector.
He has held technical and management positions in publicly-listed companies such as Imerys, which is the world’s largest kaolin producer.
For nearly three decades, Ian worked for English China Clays and Imerys on global geological and project activities. In the early 1980s, he was the General Manager of ECC do Brasil Mineração in Jundipeba, São Paulo. Following this, he was the joint Managing Director of joint venture company, CEDESCA, in Spain.
Additionally, Ian was a Project Manager for ECC’s new ground calcium carbonate (GCC) operations in Sweden and China, and was a secretary of the Mineralogical Society of London.
“Ian has spent the last 45 years evaluating, testing, sourcing and commercialising kaolin deposits for some of the largest mines and end-users of kaolin globally,” Executive Chairman Robert Martin said.
“Attracting someone of the calibre of Ian to our Board validates the significant potential we have with our White Knight Kaolin project,” Robert added.
Suvo considers this appointment to be highly strategic in commercialising its White Knight Kaolin Project, which is located roughly 210 kilometres northeast of Perth, Western Australia.
Company shares remain in the grey, trading flat at five cents in early day trade.
