Trevali Mining Corp. (TSX-V:TV) has appointed new senior executives, in addition to other corporate team modifications. The company feels these adjustments will strengthen and expand its technical depth, and are part of its ongoing optimization and asset integration process following its recent acquisition of the Perkoa and Rosh Pinah zinc mines.
Trevali’s Chief Operating Officer, Paul Keller, has entered into the role of Vice President for Major Projects & Technical Support. Keller played a large role in the company’s growth and helped it to become a global Top 10 zinc producer. As Vice President, Keller will help to develop key material projects. He will participate in project establishment, management, mentoring and monitoring/reporting of key projects, and improvement strategies.
Alongside Keller, Bryant Schwengler will be transitioning into Chief Operating Officer from his current role of General Manager of the Caribou mine in New Brunswick. Schwengler played a key role in supporting the Caribou mine during commissioning and its transition to commercial production and the ongoing optimization process. He will continue to work closely with the asset teams, providing technical support to achieve operational excellence and constant improvement. He will also be in charge of looking into internal and third-party growth opportunities.
Gerbrand Van Heerden has moved into the role of Senior Vice President of Business Initiative/Development, from his position as the Chief Financial Officer at Rosh Pinah Zinc Corporation. Van Heerden was involved in the turn-around and modernization of Rosh Pinah, helping to establish a continuous improvement culture. In his new role, he will be focusing on the integration of the businesses and entrepreneurial culture and will be supporting finance functions in the Group and driving corporate development/growth.
“We are excited with the senior corporate additions to our team that will bolster and strengthen the new, expanded Trevali,” stated Dr. Mark Cruise, Trevali’s President, and CEO. “These new senior engineering roles for Paul and Bryant are providing greater technical depth for the Company and we welcome Gerbrand who is delivering additional business optimization and development capacity.”
