https://www.pershingpm.com/about/board-of-directors
Any literate person reading the 2025 to 2017 PR-s
can easily conclude TOTAL INCOMPETENCE ! ! !
The Hallmark of their TOTAL INCOMPETENCE is
that the B.O.D. does not respond to accusations
of Malingering and Incompetence -- AND -- does
not correct their [lack of] action. .. Such as firing
the entire Leadership Team, including themselves.
I had a friend, deceased now, who was diagnosed
with a severe mental condition that made him act
publicly crazy. .. People would ask me, .. ¨Does he
know how crazy he sounds?¨
To which I ALWAYS RESPONDED, . . ¨ He can not
know , you see the part of him that monitors his own
behavior is also completely broken .¨
The Management Team of Pershing is not only Total-
ly Incompetent, that incompetence extends to the
part of each person that monitors their own behavior .
They are incompetent to monitor their own competence .

Neil D. Novak, B.Sc., P. Geo.
Director
Neil Novak is the Chief Executive Officer and Director of Toronto based BWR Exploration (BWR.V), formerly known as, Black Widow Resources Inc. Mr. Novak is a highly experienced professional geologist and mining executive with over 30 years of experience in the junior resource sector. He has worked as an exploration geologist throughout Canada, United States, Africa, Europe, South America, the Caribbean, China, Russia and South Pacific; but Northern Ontario, Canada is his main area of exploration focus. Mr. Novak started his career as a project geologist for an International Uranium explorer, Pancontinental Mining Ltd, working out of their Toronto exploration office until 1983. From 1983 to 1992, he headed up several small exploration teams in the Gogama area of Ontario, and was on the discovery and delineation team for the Jack Rabbit Gold deposit in Chester Township, while doing so he became involved in exploration in the western portion of the James Bay Lowlands of Northern Ontario looking for nickel, copper and gold.
In 1992, Mr. Novak was involved in the formation of Spider Resources Inc. which became a public company. Mr. Novak wrote the original qualifying report for Spider Resources, raising $2.5 million in an IPO. Spider Resources began trading on the Alberta Stock Exchange in 1993. He was an exploration consultant and then became an active board member of Spider and was Vice President Exploration from 1995 to 2003, heading up the exploration team that was responsible for several kimberlite discoveries in Ontario, Quebec and Brazil, attracting De Beers as its joint venture partner on the projects. Mr. Novak's exploration expertise convinced De Beers to form the JV with Spider to look for kimberlites further west in the James Bay Lowlands area of Northern Ontario. This JV ultimately discovered the McFaulds #1 VMS deposit. In 2003, he was appointed Chief Operating Officer of Spider and was then appointed President and CEO in 2005. Spider Resources then went on to explore the newly identified mineral rich McFaulds Lake area. From 2003 until 2010, Mr. Novak headed up the discovery teams for Spider's McFaulds VMS Deposits (Cu,Zn,Au,Ag), Noronts' MMS Eagle Deposit (Ni,Cu,Pt,Pd) as well as Noronts' Blackbird Chromite (Cr, Pt, Pd) Deposits, and Spiders' Big Daddy Chromite Deposit (Cr, Pt, Pd) collectively referred to as the Ring of Fire Deposits.
In May 2010, Spider Resources was targeted for takeover by Cliffs Natural Resources Inc.(CLF, NYSE) which was interested in the Big Daddy Chrome Deposit, which was then an advanced exploration asset of Spider Resources. After three months of negotiation, Cliffs Natural Resources made an all cash offer of $125 million, for Spider Resources. The all-cash offer was accepted by approximately 99% of Spider's shareholders in November of 2010. Spider Resources then became a wholly owned subsidiary of Cliffs Natural Resources. Mr. Novak assisted with the transition of Spider from a public company to a private subsidiary company and was then hired by Cliffs as a consultant to help monetize the non-core assets acquired by Cliffs in the takeover of Spider and other companies.
During this period, Mr. Novak purchased one of the former Spider projects from Cliffs. Using this project as an initial acquisition, he formed a new private company. Over the course of 2011, he acquired two additional exploration projects for the new company which was to be named Black Widow Resources Inc. Black Widow was headed up and funded by Mr. Novak, along with two other founding partners. By the end of 2012, the initial funds raised in the private company were spent and there was a sufficient asset base to float an initial public offering. The IPO was launched in November of 2012 and concluded in early April 2013 when Black Widow commenced trading on the TSX.V on April 4, 2013, Mr. Novak is the current President and CEO of Black Widow Resources/BWR Exploration.
Mr. Novak's experience in the junior resource sector as an exploration geologist and consultant, has led him to wider corporate opportunities. He has served as a director on several corporate boards including Noront Resources Ltd. for which he was also Vice President of Exploration, as well as the Simberi Mining Corporation, Cadillac Ventures Inc. and Renforth Resources Inc. He is currently a director of Cadillac Ventures Inc., and is also Vice President of Exploration for Hard-Rock Mineral Development Inc., a private company with projects in Mexico. He also owns and manages Nominex Ltd, a privately owned geological consulting company.
Mr. Novak has been a member of Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario since 2002 and a member of the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada since 1975. He has been recognized by the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC), and was co-recipient of the Bill Dennis Prospector of the Year Award for 2010 for his work in the discovery of the Ring of Fire Exploration Deposits. He is also a member of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and has been a fellow of the Geological Association of Canada since 1979. Mr. Novak received a Bachelor of Science degree, in Earth Sciences from the University of Waterloo, Ontario, (Canada), in 1977.
