"The Company has an advanced staged open pit mining project in Mexico with El Creston, and as well, now has a pipe line of projects with the Ajax and Moly Brook molybdenum assets in Canada. We are pleased that Bruce McLeod will be heading up the company as its new CEO, as his experience in mine engineering and development and his contacts in the investment community will aid greatly in moving the company forward. The new management team is capable of taking the Creston Project to production while advancing the other prospects in Creston's portfolio."
