Aldridge Minerals appoints new CEO
TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – TSX-V-listed Turkish-focused project developer Aldridge Minerals on Tuesday said that it had appointed Han Ilhan as president and CEO, effective from April 7.
The previous Aldridge president and CEO Mario Caron had resigned his position, including his seat on the board, effective July 31 last year.
The company said that Ilhan was a highly regarded mining executive with capabilities spanning the entire mine life cycle - from scoping, exploration, feasibility, licensing and permitting, design, construction, supply chain, commissioning, financial management, management of operations, maintenance and reclamation.
Ilhan joins Aldridge from an international mining company with operations in Turkey where he served as VP of projects and country manager of Turkey operations.
Ilhan is a professional engineer and earned his Bachelor of Civil Engineering from Boğaziçi University, in Istanbul, Turkey and Master of Geotechnical Engineering at Oregon State University.
"The board was committed to finding an executive that not only brought extensive industry experience with a history of building and operating mines, but also had particular expertise with mine development in Turkey. After conducting an exhaustive search process, the special committee of the board concluded that Ilhan brings a unique skill set to the company and is ideally suited to lead Aldridge through its critical next phases of development," Aldridge chairperson Barry Hildred said.
“This is an exciting time for the company and I look forward to working with the management team and board to unlock the significant value of the Yenipazar project,” Ilhan said.
