The Company has accepted the resignation of directors John Hansuld and Roger Frenette along with the resignation of former CFO Roland Lovesey. On behalf of the shareholders, we wish to thank these gentlemen for their years of service to the Company.
Subsequent to the AGM, the directors held a board meeting and planning session.

The total options issued are 2,000,000 from a total of 2,623,023 available under the company option plan.
Director and CFO Eugene Beukman of Vancouver, BC, has a wealth of experience in the management and advancement of public companies. Director John Martin, P. Eng of Miramichi, NB, is a metallurgist with a long and distinguished career involving management of exploration, mine development and production in both base metals and gold. Going forward, the new board is implementing cost control measures but will continue to direct the corporate focus on the advancement of the Maisie gold zone.
