Andina Minerals has announced that George Bee has been appointed as its new president and chief executive.

Mr Bee's initial focus will be on the next phase of development at the Volcan gold project in Chile's Maricunga gold belt and completing a technical study of the property this year.

The new Andina chief has almost 30 years experience in the mining sector, much of it in South America and he joins the firm from Aurelian Resources where he was the chief operating officer.

Sean Harvey, Andina chairman, commented: "The acceptance of this position by an individual of George's calibre underscores our belief that Volcan is among the larger, more significant gold finds of late."

The Volcan gold project hosts measured and indicated resources of 6.62 million contained ounces of gold and 3.28 million ounces of gold in the inferred resource category.

Toronto, Ontario-based gold exploration company Andina Minerals is focused on developing resources in the Americas, including its flagship Volcan gold project.
