Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. announced Dec. 1 that Dave Anthony will join the organization as vice-president and senior project director of Cliffs' Canadian chromite operations, effective January 2011.
Anthony will lead the technical development of Cliffs' chromite deposits in the James Bay lowlands.
He will oversee the project scope, execution plans, schedules and budgets to successfully design, procure, construct and begin production.
Cliffs has acquired two large chromite deposits and the controlling interest in a third deposit in the Ring of Fire. The company also announced its intent to develop the mining operation in the Ring and a ferrochrome processing operation at a site to be determined in Ontario. Prefeasibility studies are underway, with projected start-up in 2015.
Anthony has more than 30 years of engineering and environmental experience in the mining industry, mostly recently with Barrick Gold Corp as chief operating officer. He will report to William Boor, Cliffs' senior vice-president, and president of the ferroalloys division.
