Curis Resources Ltd. has hired two exceptional leaders and professionals in support of the continued development of the company's Arizona operations. Effective Sept. 10, 2012, Bruce Marsh will join Curis as senior vice-president, strategic affairs and corporate development, and effective immediately, Greg Phillips will assume the role of process superintendent.

Mr. Marsh is a professional engineer with more than 25 years of senior management, major project development and operational experience in the copper mining industry. Mr. Marsh has held senior management and executive positions with Freeport McMoRan Copper and Gold, Rio Tinto PLC, Cyprus-Amax and Boeing Aerospace.

Mr. Marsh has a master of science degree in environmental engineering from Oregon State University and a bachelor of science in civil/environmental engineering from the University of Florida. In this new role of senior vice-president, strategic affairs and corporate development with Curis, Mr. Marsh will play a central role in project permitting, external relations, the design and implementation of a comprehensive sustainable development program for the company's business interests in Arizona, and new project evaluation and development.

Mr. Phillips is a graduate of Eastern Arizona College, and has over 14 years of experience in the fields of mineral processing and solvent extraction and electrowinning (SX/EW) plant operations, and comes to Curis from the nearby Carlota Copper operation. In the new role of process superintendent, Mr. Phillips will be responsible for the planning, implementation and supervision of plant process and maintenance and reclamation activities at Florence Copper.

"We are very fortunate to continue to attract such high-calibre and experienced professionals to contribute to the company's development activities in Arizona," commented Michael McPhie, president and chief executive officer of Curis. "As our flagship Florence copper project completes its phase 1 development permitting and nears the start of construction, the depth and experience of our management and operational team [are] expanding in accordance with the growth and success of the company. I would like to welcome both Bruce and Greg to the Curis team."
