White Cliff Minerals Limited (ASX: WCN) has strengthened its team with the appointment of John Hancock as a strategic advisor to its board. The company expects significant growth with its current and future portfolio of projects in the coming 12 months and is working now to secure appropriate personnel to assist with this.
“The board views John’s appointment at this pivotal time in the company’s evolution to be a logical next step as we move to complete our stated strategy of a three-project portfolio in Canada as well as significantly expand our exploration work at both Great Bear Lake and the Rae Copper (Nunavut-Coppermine) Project.” Said Troy Whittaker, managing director.
White Cliff has shared some of John’s extensive experience in the mining and exploration industry, which began more than 40 years ago visiting Pilbara iron ore prospects with his grandfather, Lang Hancock. During the 1990s he was part of marketing missions representing the Hope Downs Iron Ore project to customers and investors in China, Japan, and Germany, including co-presenting the project at the 1997 Iron and Steel Conference held in Berlin. After two years working in South Africa with Iscor Mining (now Kumba) and on return to Australia completing an MBA, John transitioned to the role of investor and over the last 20 years has built a record of successful early-stage investments in lithium and uranium, including substantial holdings in Vulcan Energy and Aura Energy.
John’s experience in international resource development and capital markets includes the role of senior advisor to The Lind Partners, a US fund that during his tenure has deployed more than A$500M to small-cap companies in both Australia and Canada, particularly within the mining industry.
“Attracting someone of John’s experience and calibre is a great development for White Cliff. John has an extensive international network and is a successful resources veteran with deep roots within the mining industry. I look forward to working with John as we execute this next corporate step and continue to unlock the untapped potential of all of the Company’s projects” Added Troy
