corporate planning in a variety of sectors and commercial clients have ranged
in size from major multinationals to SMEs. Peter McNeill has not held any
directorships during the past five years.

of Mongolia and his wide network of contacts in the Mongolian Government and
business community will be invaluable as the Company develops its business
interests there.

Executive Director of the Company due to his other business commitments. The
Board would like to thank Dr Ian Wang for his significant contribution to the
development of the Company, his support over a number of years and to wish him
