TIME IS NOT RENEWABLE
At this time of the year, it is customary to reflect on the past 12 months and invariably, to remark that we cannot believe that another year has gone by. By this time, we should know that there are no slow years. They all fly by, each year quicker than the one before.

19 October 2010: Russia's minerals industry took another step towards better access to global capital markets last month when it signed a protocol to bring its resource reporting systems in line with the CRIRSCO template recognised in most established capital markets.

Our Client, a MNC into Surface Chemistry, provides outstanding technologies on process aids for mineral ores enrichment processes. Asia is still a small market, but with quality demand increasing and exhaustion of high purity ores, they see more and more companies looking to install purification facilities that will require their chemicals.
Usually, tailored formulations for customers are developed by sending samples of their ores to labs in Europe.
Currently, they have a very experienced technical sales person based in Europe who visits Asia regularly. Their sales manager, based in Australia, is also very knowledgeable of the mining industry. However, they have nobody in Asia that can give technical support, speak the language of the metallurgists who work in the mines, and be the liaison with the formulation development labs.
Thus, they have been looking for a metallurgist (not a mining engineer) to be that technical expert in Asia. Based in Singapore, his duties will be to:
- Provide technical guidance to customers
- Interpret questions and requests from customers and brief Europe accordingly
- Prospect new opportunities for existing technologies
- Be the focal point for the introduction of new mining products in Asia
- Understand the field of ore purification
- Report to the Performance Applications Manger, based in Shanghai
- Undertake a heavy travel schedule (may suit someone under 40yr?)
