Mr. Hanano holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree (Finance) from McGill University.

Mr. Hanano holds 1,000,000 common shares without par value in the Company.

Richard Williams, CEO and Director, stated; "This is another step in the growth of Cornish Metals, expanding the executive management team with someone who has tremendous experience and respect on both the banking and corporate sides of the street. Fawzi's role will be to increase institutional investor awareness of the progress we are making at South Crofty as we commence dewatering the mine and approach delivery of the South Crofty Feasibility Study, the importance of tin to the energy transition and for responsibly sourced Critical Minerals, as well as planning ahead to future capital raising for project construction."

Background

  • South Crofty is a historic, high-grade, underground tin mine that started production in the sixteenth century, and continued operating until its closure in 1998;
  • The Project possesses Planning Permission for underground mining, valid to 2071, Planning Permission to construct a mine water treatment plant, new processing facilities, all necessary site infrastructure, and an Environmental Permit to dewater the mine;
  • South Crofty has the 4th highest grade tin Mineral Resource globally and benefits from the presence of multiple shafts that can be used for future operations;
  • Tin is a Critical Mineral as defined by the UK, USA, and Canadian governments, with approximately 75% of the tin mined today coming from China, Myanmar and Indonesia;
  • There is no primary tin production in Europe or North America;
  • Responsible sourcing of critical minerals and security of supply are key factors in the energy transition and technology growth;
  • South Crofty benefits from strong local community and regional and national government support. The Project could generate 250 - 300 direct jobs.
