PB: I'm afraid I haven't met you before either, but I see that you have prior experience with Luna Gold and Rupert Resources.

MK: Yes, that's right. I have been in mining my whole life. I started my career after university. I am a mining engineer and I have an MBA. I actually started my career at the Goldstrike Mine in Nevada, so it is good to be back in the Southwest now.

MK: I established a good base of experience on the technical side of open-pit and underground mines as an engineer, and then moved on operations management. Recently, I have gotten into the corporate side of things. I was first over the mine at the Gilbraltar mine in north-central BC, which is a copper mine owned by Taseko. That was a few years ago, now. After that, I moved from the operational side into the corporate side of things as the President and CEO of Rupert Resources. I moved Rupert from Vancouver to Toronto and it is still an active junior mining company. I stopped being a Director for them at the end of last year, but they are doing well. They are in the process of putting a gold mine into production in Finland.

MK: More recently, I was with Luna Gold. Myself and my partner Marc Leduc took over operations of that company at the end of 2014, which was a difficult time when the mine had to be shut down to save the company. We managed to put the company back on its feet, fiscally, and spent the next 22 months laying the ground work for putting it back into production. My role at that company was essentially to manage everything in Brazil and develop the plans to put the asset back into production, which is not unlike what I am doing with the Copperstone Mine for Kerr Mines.

MK: At Copperstone, we have a former-producing asset that has a significant amount of sunk capital that we can employ when the time comes to put it back into production. However, we have to do the work to make the best plan to get it back into production. That's our primary focus right now.
