TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – Canadian miner Wesdome Gold Mines on Monday appointed Philip Ng COO with immediate effect.

Ng is a professional engineer based in Ontario who has worked in the mining industry for more than 20 years, being previously employed as COO for Queenston, as well as senior VP of mining operations for Saskatchewan-based narrow-vein gold producer Claude Resources.

He has also previously worked with significant mining companies such as INCO as chief mining engineer at the Coleman McCreedy East mine, in Sudbury, and Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting as rock mechanic specialist/mine planner and mining engineer.

"Ng brings over 20 years of technical, operational and management experience to Wesdome with substantial experience in narrow-vein mining. His experience will be of great value to us going forward," Wesdome president Donovan Pollitt said.

Wesdome, in June, temporarily suspended contract mining at the Mishi openpit mine, located near Wawa, northern Ontario, as a considerable stockpile of ore grew at the nearby Eagle River mill.

The company said it was fast-tracking a multipronged upgrade to its Eagle River milling facility, targeting a 66% increase over current rates, to 1 000 t/d, to deal with the growing supply of ore from the Mishi mine.
