Okay, someone tell us the significance of Dr. Hugh Morris being added to the Board of Directors.He's got a Ph.D. in Mining. That's a plus. He's got 45 years epxerience. That's a plus. He's held positions with : Cominco,exploration; CEO Imperial Metals;currently a mineral industry consultant (I'm not sure what that means. among my friends, it means they're currently unemployed) He's got lots of academic credits. Maybe more importantly he's the Chairman of the Board of the Lithoprobe Porject of the natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada. There are various reasons for appointing board members. A bad one is payoffs to politicians for favours rendered while they were politicians. Or a way to slip some money and options to one's sister's husband. The good reason is to appoint board members who bring real assets: all the right connections to raise money or as it looks in this case, someone who knows a lot about interpreting data and knowing where to look. Anyone know anything more about him and why he might be being brought on board now rather than a year ago or a year from now?
