Rogue Iron Ore Corp. Appoints Peter Campbell as Director
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - July 24, 2012) - Rogue Iron Ore Corp. (TSX VENTURE:RRS) ("Rogue" or the "Company") is pleased to announce Mr. Peter Campbell, P.Eng., has been appointed to the Board of Directors, as the Company continues to build its management team.
For the past six years, Mr. Campbell has worked as a senior mining analyst with Jennings Capital, focusing primarily on iron ore, copper and gold in the Abitibi region of Ontario. He has spent over 30 years in the mining industry and is a native of Timmins, Ontario, where Rogue has focused its activities. Prior to working as an analyst, he spent 19 years with Falconbridge, in both nickel operations in Sudbury and with the exploration department in Toronto, where he rose to exploration manager. Interestingly for Rogue, early in his career he also worked as a mine engineer in Kirkland Lake at the Adams Iron Mine (managed by Cleveland Cliffs) located 160 km east of Radio Hill.
"Mr. Campbell's addition to the Board is a significant step forward as the Company continues to build a strong iron ore team. He brings a high level of expertise as an iron analyst, as well as in nickel and iron mining, which makes him a perfect fit for Rogue in his capacity as director. This addition to our Board confirms the transition from a base metal exploration company toward an iron ore development company. We look forward to working with Mr. Campbell in bringing iron exploration and development back to prominence in Timmins", stated Freeman Smith, CEO & President.
As part of the transition, Mr. Frank Durant has resigned as director. The Company would like to particularly recognize Mr. Durant's contribution over the past two years. He was instrumental in the 2010 reorganization of the Company and has helped establish a strong base from which to move the Company forward.
