INTRODUCTION Keith McCandlish has over 30 years of geological and engineering experience in minerals, oil sands/heavy oil, precious stones, coal, and industrial minerals. In 2006 he took over as Vice President and General Manager of a newly formed company, Associated Geosciences Ltd. (AGL), focusing on corporate finance, technical audits, mineral project evaluation, and mining fraud investigations. In 2008 AGL was purchased by DMT GmbH & Co. KG, and Mr. McCandlish was appointed Managing Director. In February 2011 Mr. McCandlish was appointed to the board of DMT Consulting Limited of the U.K. as a non-executive director. AGL was renamed DMT Geosciences Ltd. in October 2012. He has extensive experience in the securities regulatory framework, corporate governance, and capital markets advisory services, acting as an independent mining and oil and gas analyst for the TSX, and the TSX-Venture Exchange and its predecessors, the ASE and CDNX. MY STATEMENT I have been extremely fortunate to have worked in many countries, including operational experience in Angola,
Africa, Sweden, Tajikistan, Thailand, Trinidad, Uruguay, the U.K., and the U.S. As for specialist expertise, I conducted high arctic exploration in Canada and Europe. I think this officially qualifies me as a Star Alliance seat tester! On a personal note, I am an avid cook, having studied at the Culinary Institute of America in St. Helena, California, and worked with a number of chefs in Calgary. One of the most challenging board positions I have held is that of president of my condominium corporation, dealing with the divergent interests of the various owners. I also enjoy teaching and have been fortunate to be invited to present to mining engineering students at the University of Alberta and geology students at Mount Royal University. I am also very fortunate to be married to a lovely woman, Gillian Lawrence, who has put up with my travels for a very long time.
