PERTH AUSTRALIA, Jan. 28, 2013 /CNW/ - Azimuth Resources Limited (ASX and TSX: AZH) (the "Company" or "Azimuth") is pleased to announce that following a comprehensive search it has appointed Russell Clark as its new CEO, commencing the 29th January 2013.

Mr Clark was most recently Managing Director of Grange Resources, Australia's largest magnetite producer. During his 4½ year tenure he merged the company with Australian Bulk Minerals, and oversaw the completion of  the pre-feasibility and bankable feasibility studies for the $3b Southdown magnetite project. The market capitalisation of the company grew 4 fold, and the company posted record profits and cashflow, paying its inaugural dividend in 2011.

Mr Clark holds a Mining Engineering degree (BSc Hons) from the Royal School of Mines, London, UK and a Graduate Diploma from the Securities Institute of Australia.  Prior to working at Grange Resources Mr Clark worked with Newmont and Normandy for 8 years following 18 years at Renison Goldfields.  At Newmont he was the Group Executive-Operations responsible for 7 gold mines in Australian and New Zealand. He has over 35 years of mining experience in technical roles, project management, general management and executive positions and has worked in gold mines in the USA, Africa, Papua New Guinea, and throughout Australia.

Chairman, Michael Hunt commented: "I am absolutelydelighted that the Company's advanced West Omai gold project and the prospectivity of its large exploration tenure at East Omai have attracted someone of Russell's calibre to join Azimuth as its Chief Executive. He has demonstrated abilities to both develop and manage projects as well as to communicate effectively with the market. Russell has visited the Company's flagship gold projects in Guyana and recognises the huge potential we have there."

Mr Clark said "I am really looking forward to this opportunity to lead the Azimuth team and further develop the West Omai projects in Guyana. We currently have a shallow, high grade resource and we know that the area remains underexplored. The land package put together by Azimuth in Guyana is second to none and I am confident of future exploration success in the area."
