He is the former Vice President of Technical Services and Project Development and former Vice President of Operations of Kinross Gold Corporation.

Mr. Edwards holds a BSc in Mining Engineering and an MBA in Finance from the University of Arizona.

'Mr. Edwards's global experience in mine development and operations, and his extensive knowledge of geology and copper projects in particular, will bring added strength to Oracle Mining as we complete our NI 43-101 compliant technical report and approach our final design and economics study for the re-start of the Oracle Ridge Copper Mine,' said Mr. Paul Eagland, Oracle Mining's CEO.

The Corporation also announces that Mr. Gregory Radke has resigned from the Corporation's Board of Directors, effective today.
