Aldridge Hires Jaymes Dircks as EPC Director

12.01.2015  |  Business Wire

Aldridge Minerals Inc. (TSX-V:AGM) (“Aldridge” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the appointment of Jaymes Dircks as Aldridge’s Engineering, Procurement and Construction (“EPC”) Director, effective immediately. Mr. Dircks will be responsible for leading the EPC activities for the Company’s Yenipazar Project in central Turkey.

Mr. Dircks brings 26 years of experience in varying roles of successful EPC delivery for heavy industry minerals projects worldwide that finished on budget and schedule. Since 2006, Mr. Dircks has managed Construction to Commissioning in Turkey and Central Asia. Most recently Mr. Dircks served as Construction Manager – Sulphide Area for the Aktogay Copper Project in Kazakhstan. Leading the Owner’s Team during the construction phase, Jaymes was responsible for developing the execution and contract strategy, issuing RFP as well as bid evaluations, contractor selection, overall construction execution management, and establishing all onsite quality and safety compliance requirements.

From September 2013 to May 2014, Mr. Dircks served as Project Manager for Promer Engineering (“Promer”) in Turkey, which was lead Engineer for the Company’s Yenipazar Optimization Study that was announced in April 2014. Through Jaymes’ leadership, the Optimization Study results significantly reduced pre-production capital costs while maintaining mining and process plant throughput and improving the Project financial metrics. Mr. Dircks played a critical role in ensuring Turkey’s positive differentiators were incorporated into the Optimization Study, specifically Turkey’s mature and highly qualified construction and manufacturing industries, its contract mining capacity and capability, and its human capital. Accordingly, Mr. Dircks is intimately familiar with the Yenipazar Project and Turkey.

Additionally, Mr. Dircks’ experience in Turkey includes working for Eldorado Gold Corp. at both the Ki?lada? and Efemçukuru mines where he was responsible for project and construction management and at other international companies where he gained experience in Turkey, Mexico, and Yukon, Canada.

Han Ilhan, President & CEO, commented: “During the past six months, we have gone through a rigorous process of identifying, evaluating and selecting the EPC Director for the Yenipazar Project. This is one of the key leadership positions within our organization as we prepare ourselves for construction in 2015. I am delighted to welcome Jaymes to Aldridge’s management team to fill this important position. He brings not only the right technical capabilities to the Project but also practical experience and a dedication to safety and environmental stewardship. Jaymes has a reputation for being a solutions oriented professional committed to designing and building projects that meet the highest industry standards. I am confident that Jaymes will continue to be a great asset to Aldridge as the Company moves towards construction and ultimately production at Yenipazar.”

Mr. Dircks’ immediate focus will be the successful completion of the Company’s ongoing Value Engineering exercise later in the first quarter. Thereafter, Mr. Dircks will oversee Basic and Detailed Engineering and construction execution. Key areas of responsibility will also include environment and safety management, quality control (QA/QC), procurement, construction management, pre-commissioning, commissioning support, and ensuring operational readiness. Mr. Dircks will be full-time in Turkey at the Company’s Ankara and Project offices.
