All three have been involved in mineral exploration and the mining industry in Canada and internationally for many years and bring varied and extensive backgrounds to the Board.

Glenn Nolan is a member of the Missanabie Cree First Nation, a former Chief and the first Indigenous person to serve as president of the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada.

The Company also reports that Dr Alan Galley has resigned from the Board due to time commitments and pursuit of personal interests however he will continue with the Company on its advisory committee. Dr Galley has served as a director since January, 2014 and his assistance in moving the Company forward through a period largely dominated by resource market decline has been greatly appreciated. We wish Alan every success in his future endeavours. We are pleased that Alan will continue to provide valued advice and technical input to the Company through his role as an advisor.
Additionally, the Company is changing its Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"). The Company's contract with Marrelli Support Services of Toronto has expired and the Board would like to thank Jing Peng for the time he has dedicated to the Company over the past few years.
