The Board of SBI Sons of Bavaria Investment AG in Wassertruedingen, Germany, has appointed Dr.-Ing. Frank Leschhorn as 'Director of Mining and Exploration' effective 8 September 2018. Dr. Leschhorn has earned a degree as a mining engineer and a PhD in raw material economy. He has more than thirty years experience in the mining industry in Germany and Australia in coal mining as well as gold and metal mining.

In appointing Dr. Leschhorn as Director Mining and Exploration the Bavarian junior miner that has been primarily active in exploration work in Australia and Canada in the past is now getting ready for future activities in mineral production. As a small operation they plan to focus on special raw materials such as minerals that have been rated as a "critical raw material“ according to international and German classification.

For instance Cobalt and other High Tec Minerals that are indispensable to German manufacturers but are typically mined in areas of political instability (p.e. Central Africa) or are short in world-wide supply.

The President of SBI-AG, Andreas Kees said: "In appointing Dr.-Ing. Frank Leschhorn, we are now ready to engage ourselves in mineral production with a view of contributing to the overall supply of critical but badly needed raw materials for the German industry.“
