EV Resources Limited announced the appointment of Mr. Hugh Callaghan as Managing Director of the Company, effective immediately. Mr. Callaghan worked in corporate roles in Rio Tinto plc and Xstrata in base metals before founding, or managing a number of public and private junior mining companies. Mr. Callaghan brings extensive experience and expertise of operating in Latin America, that includes a management role at Escondida in Chile and then as CEO of an ASX listed company, building a 3000tpd operating mine in Chile.

More recently, he built a silver zinc and lead mine in Mexico and generated several projects in Mexico held within TSX and private portfolios. Mr. Callaghan will be relocating permanently to a base in the Americas by October and has committed to spending a substantial portion of his time in Peru in line with EVR's view that management must be based close to projects.
