CMM Appoints New Vice President Of South American Operations And General Manager Of Century Mining Peru

This person is to replace the previous person that got promoted to CEO of Module. This new person seems to have a wealth of experience with prominent international companies. Let's hope he is a difference maker. Here is the NR:

BLAINE, WA, Dec. 9 /CNW/ - Century Mining Corporation (CMM: TSX-V) is pleased to announce the appointment of Jaime Cortez Febres to the position of Vice President, South American Operations and General Manager, Century Mining Peru, S.A.C. effective immediately.

Mr. Cortez received his Bachelor of Mining Engineering from Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru and his Masters of Business Administration (MBA) from the Australian Graduate School of Management. Mr. Cortez has over 24 years of experience in the Australian and Peruvian mining industries. His career includes employment with such mining companies as Minera Yanococha, S.R.L. (Newmont Mining Co); Rio Tinto Minera Peru - La Granja Project; Rio Tinto Coal, Australia (RTCA) and most recently, Candente Resource Corp (Canariaco Norte Copper Project).

Margaret Kent, President and CEO of Century, said, "Mr. Cortez comes to Century with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the Peruvian mining industry. He will play a major role in maximizing the gold production at the Company's San Juan Gold Mine, as well as facilitating the exploitation of the four other known deposits at San Juan. In the future, after the Lamaque Underground Mine in Quebec is up and running, Mr. Cortez and I will work closely on South American acquisitions and a potential listing on the Lima Stock Exchange."

Are you sure PK is not a man in disguise, cause she sure got Kahunas thinking about acquisitions when CMM doesn't even have two nickels to rub together.
Amazing!!!
