LONDON (ShareCast) - (ShareCast News) - AIM-quoted mining group Strategic Minerals has appointed former Wolf Minerals operations manager Jeffrey Harrison to its board as a non-executive director to support the planned redevelopment of its Redmoor project in Cornwall.
Harrison, who will continue in his current role as a consultant to Cornwall Resources following the appointment, has more than 40 years' worth of experience in the mining industry, specifically in the UK and Australia.

Strategic Mineral's chairman, Alan Broome, said, "The board is delighted to welcome Jeff to the team.
