In addition, Mr. Jan Christoffersen has resigned as Vice President of the Company effective April 17, 2009.

Lukas Lundin, Chairman of Canadian Gold Hunter, commented, "We would like to thank Mr. Bailes for his outstanding contribution to Canadian Gold Hunter over the years. Rick has been with Canadian Gold Hunter (and its predecessors) since 1990 and under his leadership the Company has acquired and advanced a number of gold exploration projects both in Mexico and Canada. We wish him all the best in the future."

Dr. Wojtek Wodzicki has worked in the international mining industry since 1987, managing exploration programs on five continents. Prior to joining Canadian Gold Hunter he had an impressive career with Teck Cominco Ltd. that included managing exploration offices in Bolivia, Peru, Chile, and Argentina.

Dr. Wodzicki also currently serves as President of Sanu Resources Ltd.

Dr. Wodzicki commented, "The new Canadian Gold Hunter has a truly outstanding portfolio of projects offering diversity, flexibility and enormous exploration potential. In fact it is an exploration portfolio that would be the envy of many of the majors. My vision for Canadian Gold Hunter is to build the Company into an international, multi-commodity exploration vehicle - the premier exploration vehicle for the Lundin Group. I wish to establish a clear model for the market that this is the vehicle for top quality exploration projects for the Lundin Group with no limits on geography or commodity. Projects accumulated may be sold, joint-ventured, developed ourselves - whatever makes the best commercial sense. We have a lot of flexibility. I very much look forward to leading this exciting new venture."
