Appointments



The Company is pleased to announce appointments at its 24.7 per cent. associate Resource Star Limited (ASX: RSL) and in its Colombian operations.



RSL, the ASX listed uranium and specialty metals exploration company, has appointed Simon Heggen as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer as RSL moves to a new phase of its development on both the exploration and the corporate fronts. Simon Heggen brings with him over 25 years of Australian and international corporate and business development experience spent largely in the resource sector. Between 1995 and 2005, He was Group Manager Business Development at WMC Resources, the publicly listed company acquired by BHP Billiton. He has also worked at managerial and board level at other leading companies, including Boral, Wesfarmers, and Schroders Australia. Most recently he served as a director of Austock Corporate Finance from 2007 to 2009, focused on equity capital market and merger and acquisition transactions, and as director of a private corporate advisory company.



Andrew Bell, Red Rock's representative on the RSL board, will remain on the RSL Board as its chairman.



Richard Evans remains as a consultant and geological adviser to RSL, and will take up in addition a wider role within Red Rock as Chief Scientific Adviser. Mr Evans has a BSc degree in geology from the University of Melbourne and a postgraduate qualification in business studies. He is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, with 25 years' experience in the mining industry. He spent 18 years with WMC Limited in a variety of technical, commercial and managerial roles; including front-line exploration and production, project assessment and feasibility.

In addition, the Company has engaged the services from 21st May of Oscar Alvarado, initially as Chief Mining Operations and Development Officer. Sr Alvarado, who has dual Peruvian and Canadian nationality, will for an initial period be tasked with optimising the operations of the Company's 51% owned subsidiary Mineras Four Points SA (MFP) at El Limon and Machuca, through training, operational adjustments, and mechanization where appropriate, and putting in place management and systems appropriate to the Company's long-term development plans in South America. It is envisaged that Sr Alvarado will then move to a senior group-wide role.



Oscar Alvarado graduated with a BSc in Mining Engineering from the National University of Engineering in Peru, and later returned to the academic world to obtain an M.B.A. from Nova University in Florida, and an MSc in Mineral Economics from Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, where he carried out further studies in metallurgy. He is a Member of the Canadian Institute of Mining, the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, and the South African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy.



Sr Alvarado has 37 years of mining experience, beginning as a Mine Foreman, later a Mine Superintendent, and having his first Mine Manager's position in 1979 at Minas San Cristobal in El Salvador. In 1984-5 he was Project Manager on the design and construction of a 200 tpd mine-mill complex mining narrow high-grade gold veins in Choco, Colombia. He subsequently worked for 12 years for Noranda, Inc in Canada and Latin America, where he was Business Development Manager, for Placer Dome in South Africa, in a senior management post at Ok Tedi in Papua New Guinea, as a study manager for BHP-Billiton's Olympic Dam expansion, before a period at the World Bank/IFC. From 2007 to 2010 he was Technical Director at Kazakhmys plc, and from 2010 to 2011 Technical Director at Hochschild Mining plc based in Lima.



The appointment of Oscar Alvarado is an important step in the Company's programme of strengthening its technical and operational capabilities.



Kenya

Further metallurgical results on the Macalder tailings have been received from Amdel Laboratories in Perth and are being assessed by the Company's metallurgist.



The drill programme at Migori intensified despite the rains as each drill from overseas arrived and was brought into operation. After 1,679m drilled in March, 3,481m were drilled in April and 1,637m in the first six days of May.



The current programme is expected to continue into July, and may be extended.



Colombia



The Company has put in place new corporate management at Mineras Four Points SA since acquiring 51% in March 2011, and in conjunction with that management has made key staff changes at the mine. These changes have already yielded results, and the improvement is continuing. Daily throughput figures for tonnages continue to increase progressively as the mine and plant operations are improved, but are not yet at satisfactory levels.



Production of gold has been on a batch system, because of small volumes of material to date, and is mainly recent, because of replacement of a furnace. Some gold is held in concentrate, and figures for gold production on a daily basis are not yet available, but will be released as soon as a meaningful run of figures can be produced.

As noted above, the Company has engaged a highly qualified engineer and manager with experience in building and running high grade narrow vein gold mines and gold plants in South America to take immediate hands-on leadership of the process of management recruitment, workforce training, operation, and investment at the MFP mines.



Key investments - appointment at Jupiter Mines Ltd



The Company's key investment and former associated company, Jupiter Mines Ltd (ASX:JMS), where Red Rock continues to hold 74,200,832 shares, announced today the appointment of Richard Mehan as CEO and Managing Director.



Richard Mehan, an economics graduate from Monash University in Victoria, has over 25 years experience in the iron ore and coal sectors, and was most recently President and CEO Asia Pacific of Cliffs Natural Resources Pty Ltd. He was Managing Director and CEO of Portman Limited before its takeover by Cliffs Natural Resources Inc., an S&P 500 company, and was instrumental in transforming Portman into a profitable 9m tpa iron ore exporter through Esperance port. Most of the issues faced by JMS in developing its Mt Mason and Mt Ida iron ore projects (Red Rock has a 1.5% gross production royalty over Mt Ida) are similar to those faced by Portman at that time.



Previously Richard Mehan worked for 15 years for Rio Tinto in sales, marketing, business development, and logistics.

heading in the right direction - more to come imo

Did i miss the spike........more of one on xel.,.

Shorts still not closing it looks like (unless they closed Friday), but they will.

There you go, they're still at it.

Thats another fine mess you've gotten me into!! .,.

Damn those shorters.

The market seems to have totally missed (or ignored) the appointment of Mr Alvarado. I guess we'll have to wait until he starts getting results.

Meanwhile we have Kenya news to look forward to, any time now.

I don't believe you martin.....your just toying with us.,.

What don't you believe Balerboy? Maybe you'd like to read the last RNS?

you promised 10p+ last rns......

Looks like a 'buy' at 6p?

I never promised anything balerboy and I'm in no position to!

I see from your profile you describe yourself as "a complete and utter novice at share dealing". Well let me give you some advice from my 10+years of dealing in the stockmarket:
Never take direction from other people's opinions, always form your own solid opinion by doing your own research into the company. It also appears you're trying to short-term trade. The truth is only a fraction of people who do this are any good at it, its a lot harder than it looks. You would do a lot better doing research into companies and if you feel they are worth investing in, buy and hold until either the facts change or you feel it has reached its fair value.

It was entirely my decision to top up with a few as i have learnt over the last 4-5 yrs that most on here have an agenda for themselves. Am having fun and also making money but maybe not in large quantities. 50% of my holding are long term and play with the rest. Not such a novice now as I was.....maybe I should change my profile a bit. lol Thanks for your input anyway, does share dealing and banter have to be boringly dull.......I hope not. BB

oooohh i've had a little rise on this one this morning, 15%.,.

well done bb - hope you banked some!

Update: Red Rock Resources and Futura Medical

2011
Red Rock Resources (RRR) 7.2p

Things at last seem to be moving in the right direction at RRR (even if price isntyet) with a nice after hours RNS on Friday announcing definite figures from El Limon, alongside figures for actual gold sold to market:

Production of gold ore at the El Limon mine in Colombia has continued the upward trend shown in the Companys announcement of 9 May 2011 and ran at a level of 40.2 tons per day in the first ten days of May, with production in the current week of over 50 tpd. Throughput into the processing plant also continued to increase, running at 47.4 tpd grading 6.47 g/t in the first week of May and 50.7 tpd grading 9.37 g/t in the first three days of the current week.

707.33 grams of gold and 581 grams of silver were sold in the first week of May.

In money terms this equates to:
707g gold = approx 23 ounces = roughly 21k (with the silver being worth less than 500)

RRR get 51% of this (51% ownership of MFP) so on an annualised basis we would be looking at a little over 500k per annum. BUT these figures are for gold sold during the first week of May. We also now know that production rate was increased in the first week of May, and again in the second week of May. And we have the highly experience Sr Alvarado arriving in a matter of days now to further enhance productivity so it would seem that finally, were getting there.

As mentioned in the conference call, the tailings results from Kenya have been late arriving but have been trickling in over the course of last week so there is a good chance we should be getting these results at some point during this week. So all things being well, this should be a much more positive week for Red Rock as those factors which have been weighing on the share price are gradually being eliminated.

and bb....

kerrrrrrrrrrchinnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggg

i would not wanna be outta rrr right now!!

Nice bit of news for a change.
