Earlier in his career, he was the US Treasury Advisor to Minister of Finance, where he advised on financial sector restructuring and London Club negotiations and relations with international financial institutions. Mr. Konski holds a B.A. in International Relations from Tufts University, and an M.P.A. from the JFK School of Government at Harvard University.

Barbara Chammas is Manager, Community Relations and Environment and a member of the Board of Rathdowney Polska. A professional with over 10 years' experience in public consultation and water management, Ms. Chammas directs on-the-ground stakeholder and environmental programs for Project Olza. Prior to joining Rathdowney in 2011, she was Manager of Public Communication for the Regional Water Management Authority in Krakow, coordinating public participation in the process of developing river basin management plans. During this time she was national Leader of the Working Group for Public Consultation and regional Leader of the Public Participation Group. For two years, she was the Water Management Specialist in the Department of European Integration and Water Framework Directive, responsible for adaptation of legal and institutional aspects of water management plans. Ms. Chammas has a Master Degree in Environmental Engineering and a Certificate in Mid-Management and Business Administration.

The Poland-based team is supported by advisors from Hunter Dickinson Inc. ("HDI") and Rathdowney who have extensive experience in advancing technical programs and permitting of projects for Canadian and European companies.

Lena Brommeland is General Manager, Poland. Ms. Brommeland has a degree in geology and more than 20 years' experience in all aspects of large-scale mineral project management, leading key projects such as Pebble and Niblack in Alaska and Prosperity in BC for HDI-associated companies.

Doug Nicholson is Senior Project Development Manager, Poland. Mr. Nicholson has a degree in mining engineering and more than 25 years of experience in mining project management, development and operations. He has directed and supported engineering, permitting and construction on a number of major mining projects, most recently as President and General Manager of the feasibility-stage Donlin Gold Project, a NovaGold/Barrick joint venture, providing leadership to the Project Senior Management Team encompassing engineering, environment, permitting, geology, camp operations and administration. Mr. Nicholson has also extensive experience in stakeholder relations with communities and government.

David Furlong is Co-General Manager, Poland. Mr. Furlong is a certified geologist with a degree in Exploration and Mining Geology, and over 15 years international experience, principally in gold, base metal and diamond exploration and production. His background includes the design and implementation of programs to advance projects from exploration to development scenarios. He also has significant operational experience having spent a number of years as mine geologist. He has overseen exploration activities, permitting initiatives, and co-managed development data gathering for Rathdowney and its predecessor private company in Ireland and Poland since 2007.

"In the wake of successfully completing the first phase of work at Project Olza last year, the Company initiated activities to advance project evaluation and permitting as outlined for projects in Poland. The management team has been assembled to lead government and community engagement efforts as well as technical studies during this phase," said President and CEO David Copeland. "As President of our subsidiary in Poland, Robert Konski leads the team and reports directly to me. Robert's background in government and the private sector with a demonstrated ability to successfully do business in Poland will be invaluable to the project.
