The company, which focuses on mineral exploration and development, is advancing its 100% owned and permitted project into the construction phase.
David Howe will take on the role of General Manager starting May 1, 2025.

He holds a Master’s degree from the Camborne School of Mines and a Bachelor’s degree from Oxford Brooks University.
Guillermo Alcazar has been appointed as Project Director, overseeing the construction and development activities at South Crofty. Alcazar has over twenty years of global experience managing large-scale mining and infrastructure projects. His background includes strategic project leadership and the implementation of risk mitigation strategies. Alcazar has previously held positions with Eldorado (SO:ELDO11B) Gold (NYSE:EGO) in Greece and First Majestic Silver (NYSE:AG), and was most recently Group Manager Western Canada for Technical Management Group Ltd. Alcazar’s position is contingent on the approval of a UK work visa, expected to be processed in May 2025.
CEO of Cornish Metals, Don Turvey, expressed confidence in the new appointments, stating they join the company at a crucial time as the project moves into the construction and development stage. Turvey highlighted the extensive project development and operating experience of both Howe and Alcazar as vital for steering the project through construction and into full production.
