"Roger Davey joins the board of Condor Resources at a time when La India Project in Nicaragua is on track to increase its JORC Resource to circa 1,500,000 oz gold in the next few weeks. Roger's previous experience as a Director of AngloGold's subsidiaries in Argentina, during which time he was General Manager of Cerro Vanguardia S.A. and was responsible for the development of the US$270m Cerro Vanguardia gold/silver open pit mine from the late drill stage, through full feasibility study, permitting, project financing to initiation of mining, should prove invaluable as Condor Resources progresses to the next stage of its development and assesses the economic potential of La India Project. Condor has engaged SRK Consulting (UK) Ltd to undertake a Concept Study. A mining engineer from SRK has recently undertaken a site visit, a report to the Board is due in January 2012.
