ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 22 March 2016
Appointment of Chief Consulting Geologist
Marmota Energy Limited (ASX code: MEU) ("Marmota") is pleased to advise that it has appointed Dr Kevin Wills BSc, Ph.D., ARSM, FAusIMM as Chief Consulting Geologist.
Dr Wills is recognised as a pioneer of the use of calcrete sampling for gold exploration in the Gawler Craton. In particular, Dr Wills designed the calcrete sampling program that ultimately led to the discovery of the Challenger Gold Mine.
Whilst working for Dominion Mining Limited in the 1990s, Dr Wills recognised that near- surface calcrete geochemistry could be applied to detect new blind gold mineralisation over large parts of the Gawler Craton. Dr Wills developed a method of rapid reconnaissance calcrete sampling that generated many new discoveries, including the discovery of Challenger. Dr Wills has global experience in multi commodity exploration, feasibility studies, mine operations and corporate management.
Marmota's Chairman, Dr Colin Rose, said:
" Marmota is delighted to bring on board a geologist of Kevin Wills' calibre and experience - particularly in our highly prospective Gawler Craton gold region around the Challenger gold mine - both guiding and focusing Marmota's exploration program. Dr Wills will shortly be heading out into the Gawler Craton with the Marmota geological team … an area in which Marmota will be significantly expanding its exploration activity over the coming months. "
