Dow Jones News
Canada-based Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. (NDM.T) has
appointed Rejean Carrier as chief operating officer of the Pebble
Partnership, the massive gold and copper deposit in Alaska.
Carrier is a geological engineer with 35 years of relevant
project experience, having worked on numerous multi-billion dollar
development projects in nickel, aluminum, iron ore, concrete and
power generation, Northern Dynasty said late Thursday.
Most recently, he was site director and deputy project director
of Xstrata PLC's (XTA.LN) Konaimbo Nickel in New Caledonia, where
he managed the construction of a $5 billion nickel operation
including mine and mill-site development port infrastructure, and a
350 megawatt power plant.
The Pebble project is jointly owned in equal measure by
U.K.-listed Anglo American PLC (AAL.LN) and Northern Dynasty. Rio
Tinto PLC (RIO) owns 19.16% in Northern Dynasty.
The Pebble Partnership is currently working to complete a
prefeasibility study in 2012 and initiate project permitting for
the Pebble Project, which could produce annually as much as 350,000
metric tons of copper, 12,000 tons of molybdenum and 600,000 troy
ounces of gold.
The project partners have invested more than $500 million in the
project to date.
