Phoscan Chemical Corp. has appointed Ian Pritchard as its executive vice-appointment of operations and projects.
Pritchard most recently worked as senior vice-president of projects for De Beers Canada where he oversaw the development and engineering for the Victor and Snap Lake diamond mines.
Phoscan is developing a phosphate mine at Martison Lake, 70 kilometres near Hearst. A beneficiation plant, phosphoric acid plant and solid fertilizer production facility are planned. Concentrate from the mine will be transported from the mine in a slurry form to the plant near Hearst.
"As we work to complete a bankable feasibility study on the Martison Project and prepare for construction, Ian's experience will be invaluable," says Phoscan president and CEO Stephen Case in an Aug. 5 statement.
