APPOINTMENT OF CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER
Bannerman Resources Ltd. (TSX: BAN, ASX: BMN) is pleased to announce the appointment of Peter Christians to the position of Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Christians, a mining engineer, is Namibian born, and has accumulated more than 23 years experience in mine planning and design. Mr. Christians joins Bannerman following eight years with AngloGold Ashanti as Mine Planning Manager based in Perth, Australia. His career spans international postings which include Gold Field’s Tarkwa Mine in Ghana and Kennecott Utah Copper’s Bingham Canyon Mine in Salt Lake City, U.S.A.

Most significantly for Bannerman, Peter Christians’ career began and includes 10 years in Namibia at Rio Tinto’s Rössing Mine, the world’s largest open pit uranium mine. The Rössing Mine is immediately adjacent to and geologically on strike from Bannerman’s Goanikontes Anomaly A deposit. An initial scoping study anticipates that Bannerman’s operation will be very similar to the Rössing Mine.

“As we enter into the feasibility stage of the project, Peter Christians’ knowledge of Namibia’s mining heritage, excellent understanding of the issues around the development of a new mining operation including identifying skilled professional talent, and his previous experience in Uranium at Rössing bring a unique advantage to Bannerman Resources,” says Peter Batten, Managing Director and CEO of Bannerman Resources. “Peter brings an important dimension to the Company as we move from exploration through the development stages of a world class Uranium mine.”
