The addition of Mr. Maree will give the Board a majority of independent directors which will be important as the Company moves into the next phases of its growth through the exploration and development of its new Saskatchewan coal discovery. My fellow directors welcome Mr. Maree and look forward to working with him during what can only be described as exciting times in the development of Goldsource."
