"We look forward to getting Robin 'on board' and together our team will work diligently to advance the Molo Project in 2014 and deliver on our promises to shareholders."
Richard Schler, CEO commented: "We are extremely pleased that Robin has chosen to join our Energizer team as it significantly strengthens our Company not only from a mine engineering and technical perspective but also from the management side of the business."
"Having Robin involved from the 'ground floor' of the BFS and mine development process will ensure that we complete the mine build on time and on budget. His experience will be invaluable as we strive to achieve our stated goal of designing and building an operational mine by 2016 with the overriding objective of being a low cost producer of graphite concentrate products."
SVP- Mine Development
Robin's role will be to oversee all matters related to the development of the Company's flagship Molo Graphite Project as it moves toward mine construction and production.
This would primarily include oversight of the Bankable Feasibility Study ("BFS") and DRA Mineral Projects (retained as our Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management Contractor - "EPCM"), and hands on involvement in the mine design, construction and commissioning phases. He will also be 'front and center' for overseeing the initial years of operation which will be contracted to DRA Mineral Projects through its wholly owned Minopex Division. We will also lean on Robin to utilize his vast network of global contacts in the mining and finance communities to facilitate mine project financing and solidify arrangements with both strategic and off-take partners.
It is notable that Robin has great synergistic experience having recently completed a BFS while Chief Operating Officer of Red Island Minerals for the Sakoa Coal Field Project in Madagascar. This will prove invaluable as we move to complete a BFS for the Molo Graphite project located a mere 30 kilometers away from Sakoa.
