CURIS APPOINTS NEW MANAGER OF METALLURGY AND MINERAL PROCESSING

Curis Resources Ltd. has hired Glen Hoffmeyer as the company's new manager of metallurgy and mineral processing. A native Arizonan, Mr. Hoffmeyer's career spans over 20 years of senior-level metallurgical and mineral processing engineering in the United States copper industry.

Mr. Hoffmeyer will lead Curis's metallurgical engineering and mineral processing studies at the company's Florence copper project in central Arizona. Specifically, he will take a lead role in these areas with respect to the feasibility study work currently under way as well as preparing for the phase 1 development program slated to begin at site in early 2012.

A graduate of Michigan Technological University, Mr. Hoffmeyer has extensive experience in hydrometallurgical operations, process development and project management focused primarily in the southwestern United States. Most recently employed with Freeport-McMoRan, he held the position of chief engineer with responsibilities for maintenance planning and equipment reliability, engineering, and cost analysis at the Technology Center in Safford, Ariz. His professional experience includes copper leaching, SX/EW, electro-refining and other extractive metallurgy projects for companies including Asarco, Santa Fe Pacific Gold, Cyprus Amax and Phelps Dodge.

"We are very pleased to welcome Glenn to the Curis team. His extensive knowledge and experience in the copper industry will certainly benefit the Florence copper project and the company's overall development activities," said Michael McPhie, Curis president and chief executive officer. "He is a native Arizonan who has extensive experience in SX/EW processing of copper, and this both supports our local hire policy and continues to help build our world-class engineering team responsible for the near-term development of the Florence copper project."
