This acquisition is transformational for the Company. I am pleased to report that Phil will stay on as a Director of the Company. I also want to recognize Jim Decker for his contributions as a founder and for his development of our shareholder base. Jim was also very influential in recruiting seasoned mining executives to Braveheart as Officers and Directors".
