West African Appoints Chief Development Officer for Sanbrado Gold Project Build



Scarborough, Australia (FSCwire) - Gold developer West African Resources Limited (ASX, TSXV: WAF) is pleased to announce a key management appointment and a project update as it moves into the development phase for its 90%- owned Sanbrado Gold Project (‘Sanbrado’) in Burkina Faso.

Mr Matthew Wilcox will join the West African executive team as Chief Development Officer in September and will directly manage the construction of Sanbrado. Mr Wilcox is highly experience in the gold mining construction industry in West Africa, having spent the past eight years working for Nord Gold SE, which operates nine gold mines globally, including three mines in Burkina Faso and one mine in Guinea.

Mr Wilcox was Project Director for the construction of Nord Gold’s 4Mtpa Bissa Gold Project and 8Mtpa Bouly Gold Project, both located in Burkina Faso. He was General Manager of the 6Mtpa LEFA Gold Project in Guinea, and most recently was Project Director for the construction of the 12Mtpa Gross Gold Project in Siberia, Russia.

Mr Wilcox has also worked with engineering firms Lycopodium and Minproc based in Perth. He holds Bachelor of Science (Applied Chemistry) and Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical) degrees from Curtin University, Perth.

Managing Director Richard Hyde commented:

“Appointing a Chief Development Officer of Matthew’s calibre is a key milestone for the Company as we progress our Sanbrado Gold Project to production. Matthew’s hands-on experience, including managing the construction of two large gold mines in Burkina Faso, will translate well for a successful build for West African Resources.”

“Both of the most recent projects Matthew led through to completion were successfully delivered on time, and on or below budget. We look forward to Matthew joining the company in early September 2018.”
