W Resources PLC (LON:WRES) has appointed an executive director on the ground in Spain to oversee the La Parrilla tungsten and tin project, and appointed a new chief financial officer.
Pablo Neira, who was appointed by the AIM-listed company as a non-executive director in 2018, is based in Spain and has already started leading the team at La Parrilla as managing director.
He has more than 32 years of industrial manufacturing experience, half of them in public listed companies, the company highlighted.
Last month the company said it had been “extremely encouraged” by the La Parilla mine’s recent performance following a phase of upgrade work.
Furthermore, Paul Hailes has been appointed chief financial officer, a non board appointment that will see him work on a part-time basis.
Hailes previously held the role of group finance director of AIM-quoted Immunodiagnostic Systems PLC and non-executive director at Utilitywise plc.
W Resources chairman Michael Masterman said: “Since his appointment in 2018, Pablo has been a great asset to the team. Being based in Spain has been a major advantage operationally and he has now taken the helm at La Parrilla, where his leadership has already had a tangible impact on performance and productivity.
“I am also pleased to welcome Paul to the management team. Paul brings strong capital markets experience and strengthens the team as we move into our next stage of growth.”
