Western Australian iron-ore developer Athena Resources on Tuesday announced the appointment of Peter Jones as MD and CEO with effect from February 17.

Prior to joining Athena, Jones worked for more than a decade with Sinosteel Midwest in a range of management roles. Sinosteel is a major iron-ore tenement holder in the Mid-West region of Western Australia focused on the development of iron-ore projects including the Jack Hills magnetite project, the Weld Range iron-ore project, the Blue Hills iron-ore mine, and the Oakajee port and rail project.

Jones brings to Athena significant relevant experience in managing successful regional exploration programmes, advancing and completing feasibility studies on Mid-West hematite and magnetite iron-ore projects, and the execution of complex joint venture projects including managing native title and pastoral stakeholder negotiations and liaison with traditional owner groups.

During his time with Sinosteel, Jones was responsible for managing and supporting exploration programmes and the completion of feasibility studies with the budgets for these programmes exceeding A$100-million.

“The appointment is an important step following the recently completed successful capital raising. Peter’s extensive relevant experience in the Mid-West, and his many achievements with Sinosteel, makes him a perfect match with our ambitions for the Byro magnetite project.

“Peter’s immediate focus will be to evaluate the comprehensive review of Byro and design and implement a pathway for further exploration, feasibility studies and ultimately the successful commercial development of the project,” commented Athena chairperson John Welborn.
