Raytec Metals Corp. has appointed Brian Thurston to join the board of directors and he has hereby accepted the position of president.

Mr. Thurston, HBSc (geology), has more than 15 years of exploration and project management experience, 12 of which were spent in Latin America. Most recently, Mr. Thurston was project manager for Pacific Ridge Exploration Corp. and was instrumental in a new uranium discovery (Lucky 7 zone) near Baker Lake, Nunavut, Canada. Mr. Thurston was part of the initial geological exploration team that evaluated the current landholdings of Aurelian Resources Inc. in Ecuador in 2002 and held the position of country manager for Aurelian in Ecuador in 2004 and 2005.

"Brian has an outstanding track record of project exploration combined with years of experience managing logistics for projects. Having been involved in two significant discoveries, being a consulting geologist in the early stages, through to becoming the country manager for Aurelian Resources in Ecuador, and also his involvement in the Lucky 7 uranium discovery in Northern Canada bode well for his experience to lead this exploration-oriented company," said Casey Forward, chief financial officer of Raytec.
