Mr. Hale replaces Larry Max Bigler as Interim President and CEO and Mr. Bigler continues to serve as Director and Chairman of The Company's Audit Committee. Mr. Bigler joined Sunergy in August of 2012 and assumed the duties of Interim President and CEO until a suitable full time President and CEO could be installed.

He has postponed another career opportunity to assume this leadership role in our Company. He has served on Sunergy's Advisory Board since August, 2012.

Garrett states, "In my career and all my corporations, I have never lost my investors' Capital, and in fact stayed through until they received a profit. I may appear to be a small business man, managing 5 to 50 employees, but the only game I know is profit. I am able to physically take hold of management and relations duties, and personally go to Sierra Leone and integrate my business skills with the locals as well as work with our team in Sierra Leone, Hans Strand, Sunergy's Country Administrator, Wilfred Ullrich our dredgemaster and Tayyib Bah, our Country Director in furthering the development of this company and making this enterprise highly profitable for our shareholders. Previous years exploration work has led Sunergy to the point where it is ready for production and it is now time for me and my 'hands on approach' to go to Sierra Leone and insure that this operation is successful."

Larry Max Bigler says: "I am very pleased to have Garrett Hale assume the permanent duties of President and CEO. He has been involved in the Allied Mining venture for many years and has extensive knowledge of its operations. I have enjoyed getting to know Garrett during his service on our Advisory Board and feel confident that he will be a great addition to Management."
