TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Sep 24, 2014) - Cartier Iron Corp. (CSE:CFE) ("Cartier Iron" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that Thomas G. Larsen has been appointed as both Chief Executive Officer and a Director of the Company, effective immediately.
As announced previously by Cartier Iron on August 28, 2014, Mr. Larsen recently resigned his position as President and Chief Executive Officer of Champion Iron Ltd., an appointment which he assumed on completion of the merger of Australian-based Mamba Minerals Ltd. and TSX-listed Champion Iron Mines Limited to continue as Champion Iron Ltd. effective April 1, 2014.
Prior to that merger he was President and Chief Executive Officer of Champion Iron Mines Limited, now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Champion Iron Ltd.. During that tenure he transformed the company from an unlisted junior in 2006 to a TSX-listed iron ore exploration and development company with a highly prospective iron property portfolio, including the flagship Consolidated Fire Lake North project, which is currently pursuing the completion of a Feasibility Study.
Cartier Iron looks forward to benefitting from Mr. Larsen's experience and team-building skills in his role as Chief Executive Officer and member of the Company's board.
Under an option agreement with Champion Iron Mines Limited, Cartier Iron has the right to earn a 65% interest in Champion Iron Mines Limited's "Cluster 3" properties, including the Penguin Lake deposit. In December 2013, Cartier Iron announced an initial Inferred Mineral Resource of 531 million tonnes grading 33% Total Iron at Penguin Lake and is currently commissioning a Preliminary Economic Assessment.
