Mexico-focused precious metals miner Endeavour Silver Corp (TSE:EDR, NYSE:EXK) has appointed vastly experienced mining engineer Andrew Sharp as its new vice-president of engineering.
Sharp will lead the company's new technical services and mine development group, which will include the existing construction and metallurgical managers, supplemented by new managers of mining, geology and permitting, as well as project leaders for each of the two development projects: El Compas and Terronera.
Sharp is a professional engineer with 30 years of experience in the mining industry, and is fluent in Spanish, having worked for many years in Mexico.
“His skills and experience are a nice fit with our senior group, and his depth and breadth of knowledge in the mining sector will enhance our ability to become bigger and better going forward as we optimize our three current mines and develop new mines to fuel our future growth,” said Endeavour's chief executive, Bradford Cooke.
