unlike Hugues I expect this new guy has actually sold something in his life other then bottled water in Death Valley California in July
Maybe they could fire Hugues. I notice Greg Bowes is commenting not Hugues.
OTTAWA, ON--(Marketwired - May 09, 2017) - Northern Graphite Corporation ("Northern" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: NGC) (NGPHF) is pleased to announce that it has hired Mr. Antonio de Assis as Senior Marketing Consultant. Mr. Assis is a graduate in Business Administration and has over 30 years of international sales and marketing experience. From 2000 until 2006 he was General Manager of Worldwide Sales and Marketing with Nacional de Grafite, the largest graphite producer outside of China. He was also General Manager, Sales and Marketing with Syrah Resources.
Mr. Assis will develop a comprehensive marketing plan for Northern Graphite with respect to products, markets, prices, customers and value added manufacturing based on his years of experience with the refractory, battery, automotive, electronics and steel markets. The marketing plan will form the basis for strategic partnership and offtake discussions and will be completed after the end of his existing contractual obligations.
Gregory Bowes, Chief Executive Officer, commented that; "The graphite market tends to be secretive and opaque and Mr. Assis will provide the benefit of deep, hands on experience in the industry. We believe Northern already has the lowest marketing risk of any new project because our Bissett Creek deposit has the best flake size distribution in the industry, its production level will be realistic given the size of the market, and it will not have the fines problem which characterizes almost every graphite mine. Mr. Assis will assist us in maximizing the value of the high quality resource at Bissett Creek."
