MANAGEMENT CHANGES
Carbine Tungsten Limited (ASX Code CNQ) has pleasure in
announcing that Mr Andrew James (Jim) Morgan has consented to
join the Company's Board as a Non-Executive Director
effective from 19 January 2012. Mr Morgan will also take up
the role of Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer from 2
April 2012.
Mr Ian Sheffield-Parker resigned as Managing Director of the
Company for personal and family reasons as of 19 January
2012. Ian joined the Company 18 months ago and was promoted
to the position of Managing Director in January 2011. The
Board is grateful for Ian's contribution during his period
with the Company.
The Board of Directors has taken appropriate actions to
ensure that Stage 1 of the Company's programme to re-commence
mining at Mt Carbine, namely the Tailings Re-treatment
Project, proceeds according to plan.
The Company's Chairman, Dr Leon Pretorius, will assume the
role of Executive Chairman until the new Managing
Director/Chief Executive Officer Jim Morgan has settled into
his position. Non- Executive Director Dr Andy White has
temporarily relocated to Cairns and has taken a hands-on role
in the Company's management in the interim, to ensure a
smooth transition.
Mr Morgan has over 30 years of experience in the Australian
and international mining and construction industries, most
recently as General Manager - Project Development for
ASX-listed Paladin Energy Ltd at Paladin's Langer Heinrich
Uranium Project in Namibia. He worked on the initial Langer
Heinrich Stage 1 development and the subsequent Stage 3
expansion project. He also managed Paladin's Kayelekera
Project EPCM functions and was involved with government
approvals and community interface aspects of the Kayelekera
uranium mine in Malawi. Whilst Mr Morgan has already assumed
a Non-Executive Directorship with the Company, he will be
finalising matters associated with Paladin's projects over
the next two months before taking up the Company's CEO
position and he will be made available to Paladin for a
reasonable time thereafter for orderly handover.
Before joining Paladin, Mr Morgan held senior positions and
played key roles in the mine development of Lafayette Mining
Limited (Owner's Representative), Rapu Rapu mine in the
Philippines and Ticor (Owner's Representative) at the
Richards Bay mineral sands mining and titanium smelter
project in South Africa. He acted as Owner's Site Manager for
Newcrest Mining Ltd for the Cadia Gold-Copper mine at Orange,
NSW, and as Owner's Engineering Manager at Newcrest's
Gosowong Gold mine in Indonesia. He holds tertiary
qualifications in electrical engineering.
Mr. Morgan would like to add:
"I feel very privileged to join the board of Directors of
Carbine Tungsten and to shortly become the
Company's Chief Executive Officer.

Tungsten is a rare and strategically important metal. The
opportunities presented in re- establishing and growing a
pre-eminent world-class tungsten mining and processing
business in North Queensland is a task I will relish.
With the talents of our Board and employees and having the
great fortune of prior accordant experience and mentoring, I
have confidence and certainty of our company delivering that
outcome.
I wish to thank our shareholders, employees and the community
for their support to help us realise our Company's clear
and realistic vision".
The Company is also very pleased to announce that it has
recruited Mr Travis Peisker as Project Manager for the Mt
Carbine tailings project. Travis holds tertiary
qualifications in mechanical and electrical engineering.
Travis came to us very highly recommended from his last
position which was Mine/Operations Manager for North
Australian Diamonds Limited (now on care and maintenance) and
before that he gained extensive experience in management and
operations at Emerald Quarries and the Navy.
The Board is delighted that Mr Morgan has accepted the
appointment as a Director and believes he will bring a wealth
of project expertise to the Board. He will greatly assist the
Company with the Mt Carbine Project as it progresses through
its three-stage process of becoming a tungsten producer,
starting with the tailings re-treatment, progressing to the
processing of the low-grade stockpile and finally to
full-scale mining.
Similarly, the Board appreciates that Travis and the
burgeoning team of employees at the mine have elected to join
the Company and look forward to a long and rewarding future
with them.
