On

Mr. Wilson consented to this appointment and joined Darren R. Stevenson and
Bruno Mosimann as our third director on our Board of Directors.
Mr.

serving as its President, Mr. Wilson was a director of Regent Ventures from
1993

over $62 million dollars to acquire and develop two publicly trading Australian
gold mines. Mr. Wilson attended Cariboo College and Simon Frasier University
in
British Columbia, Canada.
Mr.
