A Cornish mining company have announced two new additions to its senior management team.

Cornish Lithium Ltd, the mineral exploration and development company based in Cornwall, UK, has announced a new addition to its management team with the appointment of two new senior team members, Patrick Forward as Head of Project Development – Hard Rock Minerals and Henry Chalcraft as its Land Agent.

These appointments are announced as the Company works to develop its projects and mineral rights portfolio across Cornwall, to implement its goal of creating a battery metals hub for the benefit of the region and the UK as a whole.

As the Company continues to develop its portfolio of projects, including the construction of a Pilot Plant at the United Downs Deep Geothermal Project and the publication of its maiden resource at its Trelavour Hard Rock Project, Cornish Lithium believes this to be the opportune time to expand its growing team and embed further expertise within the Company.

Patrick brings a wealth of experience of developing a multitude of hard rock base and precious metals projects across the globe.

In addition, his experience as a Qualified Person in relation to NI 43-101 and JORC reporting will prove invaluable as the Company moves towards the publication of its maiden resource at Trelavour.

Henry has enjoyed a successful career in both land management and minerals extraction.

The combination of his experience in these two sectors will be of great benefit to Cornish Lithium as it looks to consolidate its mineral rights portfolio and foster Cornish Lithium’s diverse land use relationships.
