New Mexico Copper Corporation (NMCC) is pleased to announce that W. Ferol Baker has accepted the position of General Manager for the Copper Flat Project in Sierra County, New Mexico.

Beginning his mining career with Phelps Dodge in the Silver City area in the late 1970's, Baker most recently served as Mine Manager of the S.C.M. Franke mine in Chile. "I'm excited to be returning to New Mexico, I've continued to keep a home in Silver City and I'm looking forward to assisting in bringing Copper Flat into operation production," said Baker.

Baker, who will join New Mexico Copper Corporation officially on June 1, 2011, brings over 30 years experience in the mining industry - beginning his career as a laborer in the copper mines in the Silver City district. He gained extensive experience managing and constructing mine sites on three continents (North America, South America and Africa,) successfully turning around projects that were in danger of not performing.
