May 9, 2011, Vancouver, BC – Curis Resources Ltd. (“Curis” or the “Company”) (TSX: CUV) announces that it has hired Mr. 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 US copper industry.
Mr. Hoffmeyer will lead Curis’ 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 underway as well as preparing for the Phase 1 development program slated to begin at site in early 2012.
