15.03.2018  |  Marketwired

HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA--(Marketwired - Mar 15, 2018) - Erdene Resource Development Corp. (TSX:ERD) ("Erdene" or "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Cameron McRae to the Company's Board of Directors. Mr. McRae will serve as a non-executive, independent member of the Erdene board, effective immediately.

"We are pleased to welcome Cameron to our Board and believe he will bring an exceptional wealth of knowledge and industry experience to the mining and business development aspects of our Company, as we advance our gold projects in southwest Mongolia," said Erdene's Chairman, Chris Cowan. "Cameron brings with him 28 years experience with Rio Tinto, including the role of President for Oyu Tolgoi LLC, where he led the construction and start-up of the US$6 billion Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold mine in southern Mongolia, one of the world's largest known copper and gold projects."

Cameron McRae is a seasoned CEO, having led mining organizations through the full mining development cycle in four countries and across three continents. Mr. McRae served a 28-year career with Rio Tinto, and in Mongolia was President of Oyu Tolgoi LLC and Rio Tinto's country director for Mongolia. In that role he led the construction and start-up of the US$6 billion Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold mine, ahead of schedule, which at peak of construction had over 15,000 people employed on site.

Cameron has led successful greenfield and brownfield construction projects, overarching business transformations and business improvement projects, and at the corporate level has deep commercial/M&A experience. Prior to Oyu Tolgoi, Cameron was CEO of Richards Bay Minerals in South Africa (2008-10), Managing Director of Murowa Diamonds in Zimbabwe (2006-07) and Project Director for the Hail Creek Coking Coal Expansion project in Australia. Prior to 2004, Cameron held commercial and project leadership roles, both at Corporate and Business Unit levels. In 1995, he was a key team member responsible for the A$29 billion merger of CRA and RTZ into the dual listed Rio Tinto (which was the world's largest merger at the time).

Mr. McRae is the founder of Tarva Investment & Advisory, a broad-based consultancy firm. Tarva has also acted as strategic advisor to Erdenes Mongol, Mongolia's state-owned asset management firm, on the resolution of the Oyu Tolgoi dispute between Rio Tinto and the Government of Mongolia. Cameron remains active in Mongolian public life, as an executive director of the Business Council of Mongolia, as a trustee of the Arts Council and founder of the Institute of National Strategy. Cameron was schooled in Australia and Africa and holds a commercial degree and an MBA (Monash Mount Eliza, 1991).
