06.12.2011  |  Marketwired

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 12/06/11 -- Orvana Minerals Corp. (TSX: ORV) announced today that Roland Horst has resigned from his position as Chief Executive Officer and as a director of Orvana. Bill Williams, Orvana's Vice President Corporate Development, has been appointed Orvana's President and Chief Executive Officer and as a director. In addition, Agne Ahlenius, Director General of Orvana's flagship El Valle-Boinas/Carles Project in northern Spain, has been appointed Chief Operating Officer of Orvana to replace Carlos Mirabal, who has moved from his position as Chief Operating Officer and President of Orvana to assume the role of Executive Chairman of Orvana's wholly-owned subsidiary, Empresa Minera Paititi S.A., which operates the Don Mario Upper Mineralized Zone Project in Bolivia. Concurrently, Jim Jacques has assumed the role of Orvana's Vice President of Operations in addition to his responsibilities as General Manager of the Copperwood Project in Michigan, USA.


Kent Jespersen, the Chairman of Orvana's board of directors expressed his appreciation for Mr. Horst's leadership of Orvana and his confidence in the new appointments, 'During his time with Orvana, Roland has made a valuable contribution to the company's transition to being an international, multi-mine gold and copper producer and we wish him well in his next endeavours. At this time, Orvana's focus on successful operation of its current mines is best served by the appointment of these executives with extensive development and operations experience to new key roles within the company.' He added, 'Mr. Williams has the necessary mining experience in the Americas and Europe, the regions in which Orvana has active projects, to fulfill his new responsibilities. Mr. Ahlenius, who has successfully advanced the development of the El Valle-Boinas/Carles Project, has extensive operational experience that will benefit the advancement of all of the company's current projects, and Mr. Mirabal has extensive experience at the Don Mario Mine, having previously managed Orvana's successful Lower Mineralized Zone Project. With his ample experience at the Tennessee zinc mines, Mr. Jacques has additional expertise that will be beneficial to Orvana's operations.'
