VANCOUVER,
Feb. 6, 2014 /CNW/ - Discovery
Harbour Resources Corp. (TSXV:DHR) ("Discovery", "Company") is
pleased to announce the appointment of Frank D. ("Bruno") Hegner as President and CEO
of the company. Mr. Hegner will replace Ian
Graham who was President and CEO of Discovery Harbour since
its founding as a private company in March, 2009, and continued as
President and CEO following its transition to the public markets
through a Reverse Takeover transaction with Cayman Ventures Corp.
by way of Plan of Arrangement on April
2nd, 2013.
Mr. Hegner has been an Independent Board Member
of Discovery Harbour since October
2011, and continued on the public company board following
the Company's RTO in April, 2013. He has over 25 years of
experience in the mining industry and has held a variety of staff
and operational positions with Cyprus Minerals Company, Magma
Copper Company and Rio Tinto plc. He retired from Rio Tinto as
Managing Director of the Copper Projects Group where he was
responsible for development of the Resolution and La Granja copper
projects. Mr. Hegner holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Russian
History from Fort Lewis College in
Durango, Colorado and a Juris
Doctor Degree from the University of
Denver College of Law. He has also pursued post-graduate
studies at Duke University, the
London School of Business and the
Colorado School of Mines.
"Bruno is a wonderful choice of President for
Discovery", states Ian Graham,
outgoing President and CEO. "His international experience among
large and mid-size production companies in both their operating and
exploration units has given Bruno a comprehensive knowledge of the
discovery pipeline process, from evaluation through to production.
Bruno and I met at Rio Tinto whilst Bruno oversaw the exploration
business' farm-in, JV and investment relationships with junior
exploration companies, a role he created and defined, and which
lead to great value creation for that company. I am thrilled that
Bruno has agreed to replace me at Discovery Harbour, and I leave
Discovery confident that it will prosper under his leadership."
The Board wishes to welcome Bruno to the role of
President and CEO, and looks forward to working with him to advance
the Company and its projects. The Board also would like to thank
Mr. Graham for his efforts to establish the company and succeed
with listing the company in difficult public markets. All at
Discovery Harbour wish him success in his future endeavours.
