Champion Minerals Appoints Richard Quesnel as Senior Technical Advisor
and Head of Advisory Board
Toronto (Canada), September 2, 2011 - Champion Minerals Inc. ('Champion' or
the 'Company') (TSX: CHM; FSE: P02) is pleased to announce that Richard
Quesnel has been appointed the Company's Senior Technical Advisor and Head
of its Advisory Board.
With his accomplished career, Mr. Quesnel brings over 30 years of senior
mine management and engineering experience to Champion. Most recently, Mr.
Quesnel served over 5 years as President and Chief Executive Officer of
Consolidated Thompson Iron Mines Inc. ('Consolidated Thompson') (acquired
by Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. earlier this year) where he was
responsible for the successful construction and production ramp-up of the
Bloom Lake iron ore mine, located in the Labrador Trough in Quebec, Canada.
Under Mr. Quesnel's guidance, Bloom Lake entered into commercial production
in early 2010, on schedule and just four years after completion of its
feasibility study.
During his tenure at Consolidated Thompson, Mr. Quesnel also oversaw the
construction of a railroad line and ore handling facilities near the port
of Pointe-Noire, Quebec, in support of the mining operations at Bloom Lake.
Additionally, Mr. Quesnel and the Consolidated team raised over CDN $850
million in financing, negotiated and concluded a $240 million strategic
investment by Wuhan Iron and Steel Company ('WISCO'), one of China's
largest steel producers, as well as off-take agreements with WISCO,
Worldlink Resources of China and SK Networks Co., a subsidiary of the third
largest Korean conglomerate, SK Group.
Throughout his mining career, Mr. Quesnel has also contributed to the
success of several large gold, base metals and iron ore mines, where he
successfully developed, commissioned, operated and expanded mining
operations, including Quebec Cartier's Mount Wright iron ore mine in
Quebec, the Gibraltar mine in British Columbia, Barrick Gold's Meikle mine
in Nevada and the Montcalm mine in Ontario.
Thomas Larsen, Champion's President and C.E.O., commented, 'We are
fortunate and excited to have Richard join our team. His technical and
operational expertise and recent mine development experience in the
Labrador Trough iron ore camp will be invaluable to Champion. The Company's
technical and mining team will benefit greatly from Mr. Quesnel's mining
success and his input as we progress Champion's Fermont Projects through
development to feasibility and production.'
