Donald G. Moore CEO & Chairman Mr. Moore's connection with the mining industry began over thirty years ago while working summers in the Dickinson Mine (Goldcorp) in Red Lake, Ontario during high school and university. Following graduation from University of Waterloo, Mr. Moore joined the Mining brokerage firm Doherty Roadhouse & McQuaig (which eventually became Midland Walwyn) in 1968, where the foundation of his experience in the Mining investment industry evolved. In 1976 he accepted the challenge of reviving the economy of the mining town of Kirkland Lake, Ontario, where, in his role of Director of Economic Development, he conceptualized, raised funds for and had implemented a number of Geo-scientific programs that became the standard for Ontario. In 1981 he continued to diversify his knowledge and involvement in the mining industry as Director and Executive Vice President of International Corona in Vancouver, B.C. where he worked with David Bell in the early stages of the development of Ontario's prolific Hemlo gold deposits. He then launched a career as an independent consultant to the mining and mining investment industry. His expertise now includes organizing, restructuring, promoting and negotiating complex acquisitions and joint ventures for junior and senior mining companies, based in North America and in Europe. Mr. Moore is currently a director and officer of several other public companies, including Rupert Resources, and Kermode Resources.
D. Neil Briggs Director Mr. Briggs has a Bachelor of Science degree in geology from the University of Durham, England. He held a senior exploration position with Falconbridge Nickel Mines Limited, during which time he established the company's regional exploration office for the Atlantic Provinces of Canada. Starting in the early 1980's, Mr. Briggs held senior management positions with Manitoba Mineral Resources Ltd. (MMR) ultimately serving as president from 1993-1995. While at MMR, Mr. Briggs managed the company's 27% interest in the Trout Lake Joint Venture and annually negotiated the sale of MMR's share of production from the 2,500 ton per day Trout Lake Mine resulting in annual revenues of some $18 million. He also represented MMR on the Board of Tantalum Mining Corporation of Canada (Tanco), North America's only tantalum producer. Mr. Briggs is a director and officer of several other public companies, including Rupert Resources, and Kermode Resources.

James Robertson, B. Sc., P. Eng. Director Mr. Robertson graduated from the University of Nottingham with an Honours degree in Metallurgy and enjoyed a varied career in engineering holding successively more senior positions culminating in his post as Manager of Engineering in Vancouver for a major international engineering firm. After leaving this position, Mr. Robertson established Midas Management Inc., a private management company. He founded Greenwich Resources Inc., which graduated to the Toronto Stock Exchange and then to a full listing on The London Stock Exchange as a gold producing company. He was also the founder of Avocet Ventures Inc., a mineral resources company focused on gold and tungsten. He oversaw the company from its creation through its successful move to a full listing on The London Stock Exchange in 1996 as a growing company with a $150 million market value. Avocet Ventures is now Avocet Mining PLC, a very successful AIM listed gold producer. More recently, Mr. Robertson has acted as Director of several private and public companies, including TSX listed company Gateway Gold and TSXV listed company Riverstone Resources, and various Avocet Group subsidiaries. Among Mr. Robertson's achievements while with Avocet was the coordination of the transfer of Beralt Tin and Wolfram Ltd., a Portuguese subsidiary of Avocet, to Primary Metals Inc., a TSXV listed company where Mr. Robertson became a Director and Vancouver manager. Primary Metals was subsequently acquired by a subsidiary of the major Japanese conglomerate, Sojitz Inc., in 2007. Primary's assets included several tungsten mineral deposits and the Panasqueira Mine in Portugal, a 3,000 ton per day operation that has been producing tungsten for over a century from underground workings exploiting wolframite in quartz veins. As a result of the increases in tungsten prices, the profitable Panasqueira mine continues to produce well over 100,000 MTUs of tungsten trioxide in concentrates annually. Mr. Robertson continues his activities in the mineral resource industry and maintains a close interest in monitoring international tungsten developments.
