recommended the election of seven directors at the Annual General
Meeting of the Company to be held in Toronto on June 10, 2011. In
its Information Circular to shareholders Mr. Gordon Peeling has
been nominated, along with the current six directors of the
Company, for election at the meeting. The Board of Directors is
very pleased to welcome Mr. Peeling as a nominee following his
successful thirteen year term as President of the Mining
Association of Canada.
Mr. Peeling has been president of MAC since 1997 and has more
than 30 years of mining experience in both the public and private
sectors. In the MAC news release announcing his retirement on April
30, it noted the he was named one of Canada's top 100 lobbyists and
that under Mr. Peeling's leadership, MAC had achieved considerable
milestones. These include progress on matters related to
sustainability, the environment, and First Nations, as MAC signed
an accord with First Nations in 2009. He has also taken an active
role in initiatives related to Corporate Social Responsibility, an
increasing priority for industry in Canada and for African nations
inviting international mining investment. The Mining Association of
Canada is the national organization for the Canadian mining
industry and its members are engaged in mineral exploration,
mining, smelting, refining and semi-fabrication
(www.mining.ca).
Prior to joining MAC, Mr. Peeling served as Vice President at
the International Council on Metals and the Environment; Director
General Mineral Commodities Branch at Natural Resources Canada; and
the Director General, Mineral Strategy Branch at Natural Resources
Canada. Under his leadership, the Mining Association was recognized
for its leadership in work on sustainable development and the
innovative development of a widely recognized leading edge
sustainable development program called Towards Sustainable Mining
(TSM).
The election of Mr. Peeling to the Board will add a further
valuable dimension and international perspective to the Board of
Directors as the Company expands its exploration activities in
Mali.
