Bellevue Gold Limited announced that it has appointed highly-experienced mining executive Rod Jacobs to the newly-created role of Project Director. Mr. Jacobs is a qualified mining engineer with more than 30 years' operational and senior management experience. In these roles he has overseen major project studies, permitting, site operations, merger and acquisition activity, and project management. Mr. Jacobs has undertaken asset evaluation, led project developments and managed steady-state operations in both open-cut and underground scenarios. He has utilised a variety of mining and processing methods across many commodities, including gold, base metals and mineral sands. His previous roles include Chief Operating Officer at Doray Minerals, during which time he led the transition of the Deflector gold-copper project into full operation. Through numerous studies and improvement projects, Deflector output was continually increased without material capital expenditure. In parallel, the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve inventories were materially increased, resulting in a much-improved life of mine duration and total production.
