Item 5.02 Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers.
On March 10, 2014, we appointed Craig Russell, age 29, as a director for the Company. There have been no related transactions between the Company and Mr. Russell since the beginning of our last fiscal year.
Craig Russell has over six years of project management and financial experience. Mr. Russell has a degree in Economics and training in Mineral project and financial appraisal from Imperial College London. He also has qualifications in project management and management accountancy.
Mr. Russell started his career within retail in 2006 as a project coordinator overseeing the development and roll out of new initiatives for John Lewis where he was employed from September 2004 through September 2008. From September 2008 through January 2010 Mr. Russell worked within the accountancy team of an ecommerce company, Quidco, in London. Mr. Russell became the business analyst with Quidco, helping the company to develop its business model and increase growth. From August 2010 through January 2011 Mr. Russell worked for LTS, London, UK, an international fashion designer/retailer within their finance department. From February 2011 through present, Mr. Russell has served as the Chief Executive Officer for Bonanza Gold, a publicly listed mineral exploration company in Seattle, Washington.
