Aspire Mining Limited (ASX:AKM) Management Updat

Aspire Mining Limited (ASX:AKM) is pleased to announce the formal appointment of Mr Barsbold Tserenpuntsag ("Barsaa") as the Company's Chief Geologist.

Barsaa, who is credited with the discovery of Aspire's world-class Ovoot Coking Coal Project ("Ovoot") in northern Mongolia, was previously contracted by Aspire on a part time basis.

Barsaa will help oversee the current exploration programme at Ovoot and will be responsible for identifying potential for new coking coal discoveries in northern Mongolia.

Earlier this month, by order of Mr Zorigt D., Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy in Mongolia, Barsaa was awarded the Geologist Medal for 2011, in recognition for his outstanding contribution in the development of the Mongolian geological sector.

In 2008, Barsaa planned and executed the initial Ovoot exploration programme that made the initial discovery holes. The programme was conducted by a Mongolian syndicate, the members of which are now significant Aspire shareholders.

Barsaa also had significant involvement in Aspire's 2010 exploration programme, which culminated in the establishment of Ovoot's maiden 330.7 million tonne JORC-Compliant Resource.

Barsaa will report to Aspire's Exploration Manager, Mr Iestyn Broomfield.

For the last eight years, he has been employed by Ensham Coal where he was responsible for coking and thermal coal sales into North Asia.

Scott will be responsible for marketing Ovoot Coking Coal to global markets and working on rail and port capacities.
