Highland appoints Copperwood project director
TSX-V-listed Highland Copper has appointed Wynand van Dyk as project director for the Copperwood project, in Michigan, US.
Van Dyk is a senior executive with 30 years of experience in mining, metallurgy and capital projects. He began his career with De Beers in South Africa, followed by numerous years at Hatch working as a project manager and lead process engineer for the mining division. He then spent about a decade with Lonmin Platinum focusing on design, construction and commissioning of key capital projects including the development of multiple processing plants and tailings dam expansions.
Most recently, he held the position of VP engineering, research and development at Itafos, a phosphate mining and fertiliser company based in Houston, Texas.
“We are incredibly pleased to have Wynand join at this pivotal time for Highland and the Copperwood project. With permitting and feasibility study complete, we have transitioned to early site works and detailed engineering. Wynand’s experience in project design and development will be critical in advancing Copperwood to a construction decision,” comments Highland Copper CEO Barry O’Shea.
Meanwhile, Highland Copper also announced that director Caroline Donally had tendered her resignation to focus on personal endeavours. Following Donally’s departure, Highland will have seven board members. The company does not intend on replacing Donally.
