Ironbark Zinc has appointed Mr Gary Comb to the Board of Ironbark as a non executive director.

Comb was recently the managing director of Jabiru Metals where he was successful in taking the Jaguar base metal project into production, with the commissioning of the mine and processing plant taking place during the global financial crisis.

Jabiru became a bottom quartile cost producer and subsequently was subject to AUD 532 million takeover in early 2011.

Mr Comb was also previously CEO of BGC Contracting, the mining contracting arm of Western Australian construction group BGC. He is currently a director of Zenith Minerals.

Mr Comb’s 25 years in the Australian mining industry will strengthen Ironbark’s board as it works towards first production at the Citronen Base Metal Project in Greenland in 2014.

The company recently increased the grade and tonnes of mineralization at the project following a Resource upgrade.

Ironbark announced 23% increase in grade for the underground optimized mineral inventory, to 39.1 million tonnes at 6.18% zinc for 2.4 million tonnes of contained zinc metal, and 0.53% lead. This comes hot on the heels of a 53% increase in Measured and Indicated Resources at Citronen announced on January 9th 2012.
