"According to [Norman] Keevil, there are three things necessary to build a successful mining company: good orebodies, the financial capital to develop them, and good people."
1. good orebodies - "If all we had was our D Zone we would be ecstatic, but we also have the much larger SE Zone that looks like it could host a further 170,000,000 tons of material."
2. good people - Advisory Board
A. Mr. Robert Yeates has been a successful senior executive with over 40 years experience as CEO, President and Partner in various enterprises developing extensive knowledge of plastic laminate moulding, fabrication and construction techniques. Through Robert Yeates Holdings Limited (RYHL) he has been involved in numerous projects around the world, including design and construction of specialized equipment for hydro metallurgical processing in the mining industry. His expertise also involves design and installation of Rare Earth Element extraction plant equipment. Mining companies with which he has consulted include Inco on their Voisey's Bay demonstration plant, and, currently, acting as a supplier for the Sherritt Ambatovy nickel project in Madagascar.
B. Mr. Tim Peterson has extensive managerial experience in the environmental, high technology and resource sectors. He has served on the Boards of Directors of four public companies and has extensive contacts in India and China. Following on the successful political careers of his older brothers, one of whom served as Premier of Ontario, and the other as International Trade Minister for the federal Government, he was elected and served as the Member of the Provincial Parliament of Ontario for Mississauga South from 2003 to 2007.
C. Cam Cheriton, Ph.D.| Director
Cam Cheriton, Ph.D., has over 50 years experience in the mining industry, working for companies such as Atapa Minerals, Consolidated Mining Company of Canada, the Anaconda Copper Mining Company, Texas Gulf Sulphur, the Conwest Exploration Company, and the Geological Survey of Canada. He studied at the University of Saskatchewan, the University of British Columbia, and Harvard University where he completed a Ph.D. in Economic Geology.
D. Scott Keevil? Friend of the Oakville Animal Clinic and Oakville Humane Society. Attracted top notch industry talent to SRSR advisory board and Dahlman Rose to the Nio-Star project.
3. the financial capital to develop them - Dahlman Rose has been engaged by the company to find sources of financing to take the project to the next level. While they let Dahlman Rose do what they do in that regard, there have been no shortages of interested parties in the meantime to do smaller private placements, and the Keevil 9 has purchased several million shares recently.
