Olsher will replace Matthew Markin, who was the interim CEO charged with the task of locating and attracting a long-term top executive. Olsher is a well-known international steel and minerals senior executive, with expertise in management, transactional financing, economic decision-making, budgeting, sales and purchasing. His most recent experiences: industrial minerals and mining in South America; partnering with large international metals and mining companies; and investigating new mineral supplies in emerging markets. Having been employed by major metals and minerals companies, as well as having created his own steel and mineral enterprises, Olsher has more than 30 years of seasoning as senior executive in the metals and minerals businesses. "As the new CEO I am looking forward to applying my knowledge and experience I have gained throughout my career in the metals world,” Olsher said. “I have been involved in everything from mining raw materials, to manufacturing metal products, to international distribution, and am quite pleased to be working with US Tungsten as the Calvert Mine has historically produced tungsten, and will hopefully be the United States' first tungsten mine in some several decades."
