Profile of Laurence (Laurie) Stephenson

QUALIFICATIONS

Mr. Stephenson graduated from Carleton University in 1975 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology then, in 1985, graduated from York University with a Masters of Business Administration. He is registered as a Professional Engineer for the Province of Ontario (1981) and currently a member in good standing. With over 30 years experience in the field of mining exploration he has the experience to guide new companies through the effective use of financing in their exploration program. With his business education and experience consulting to the investment industry for the past 15 years he has able to assist these new companies in acquiring investment funds to proceed.

He was instrumental in starting Spirit Lake Explorations in 1985 (Montreal Stock Exchange), Kokanee Explorations Ltd. (Vancouver and Toronto Stock Exchanges) and Glencarin Explorations Ltd (Alberta Stock Exchange) and through Glencarin, Wheaton River Minerals (Toronto Stock Exchange). He assisted in the reorganization of Golden Hemlock Explorations (early 1990’s Vancouver Stock Exchange) Strike Minerals Ltd. and several other companies to a lesser degree. All these companies remain active.

He was most recently involved in Golden Chief Resources Inc. (Vancouver Stock Exchange) as a founding partner, director and Vice President - Exploration. In that role he actively guided the exploration and acquisition of capital investment to fund the exploration. Eventually through his efforts, Kinross Gold Corp of Toronto optioned a 50% interest in the main Golden Chief project and spent in excess of $1.5 million U.S.

Last year (2000) he assisted in getting Kermode Resources Ltd. re-listed and funded for mineral exploration in an otherwise dismal market.
