With our stated goal of transitioning KSM from a 100% owned asset to a joint venture with a major mining company, his experience will be invaluable."

On behalf of the Board and all of our shareholders, I would like to thank Louis for his dedication and contribution to the Company. I am pleased to note that Louis has agreed to continue in a consulting role," said Mr. Fronk
