Dr. Stone has authored numerous prefeasibility and feasibility studies. He has extensive experience in the design and construction of heap leach mines dating back to the 1980's including Beal Mountain and Basin Creek in Montana, Yellow Aster in California, Manhattan in Nevada and Brewery Creek in the Yukon.

Joe Bardswich, P.E. (Arizona), the Golden Vertex General Manager will lead permitting activities, heavy construction mobilization and initial crew activation at the Moss mine site. Mr Bardswich has extensive experience in all facets of mining from contract miner, through to production supervision, mining engineering, heavy civil engineering and mine management in underground, open pit and alluvial operations in Canada, the U.S., Europe and Africa. Mr. Bardswich is a Professional Engineer in the Province of Ontario and a life member of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (CIM) and is a "Qualified Person" as defined in NI 43-101 Standards for Mineral Disclosure.

Bob Cuffney, Consulting Geologist will continue to play a significant role as the company advances to commercial production at the Moss Mine. Mr. Cuffney will also be responsible to assist in the design and implementation of an anticipated systematic multi-phase drill and resource expansion program at the Moss project that is expected to run concurrently with the mine construction and production schedule. In addition to its existing gold-silver resource, over 95% of the Moss property remains largely unexplored. There is up to 3.0 kilometers of untested strike extent on the structure hosting the Moss resource itself. The Moss is a mineral rich property package that hosts over 200 historic mining disturbances. Geological mapping and airborne magnetics indicates a potential for up to ~ 21 km of untested strike in several structures. Surface sampling and mapping to date has identified several priority targets which will be the focus of the upcoming multi-phase exploration / drilling program.
