La Parrilla Management Team and Shipments Update
W Resources Plc (AIM:WRES), the tungsten, tin and gold mining company with assets in Spain and Portugal, has appointed Mr. Jesus Martin as Plant Manager at the La Parrilla tungsten and tin project in Spain.
Jesus will bring more than 40 years of experience operating metallurgic and gravimetric plants, mostly on tungsten and tin projects in Spain, including: Rodalquilar, Los Santos, Penouta and most recently the Barruecopardo tungsten mine in Western Spain.
The senior La Parrilla management team includes Pablo Neira - Managing Director (Spain), Juan Garcia Valledor - Mine Manager and Jesus Martin - Plant Manager. This appointment strengthens the management team at a key stage in the production ramp up at La Parrilla.
