It is expected that on June 25, 2015, the Company will change its name to "Crystal Peak Minerals Inc." and shortly thereafter its common shares will begin trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the new ticker symbol "CPM". The Company will also change its ticker symbol on the OTCQX and will announce the new symbol once it is in place. The Company's board of directors (the "Board") believes that the new name will better communicate the Company's strategy to develop its Sevier Lake Playa Sulphate of Potash Project ("Project") located in southwestern Utah to markets, shareholders, and others.
In addition to the approval of the name change, the Company's shareholders elected to the Board Daniel Basse, De Lyle Bloomquist, Theodore Botts, Ramakrishnan Mukundan, Lance D'Ambrosio, Thomas Pladsen, Donald Carroll, and Robert Curtis, each to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until his successor is elected or appointed. Also, the Company's shareholders re-appointed PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP as auditors for the ensuing year and re-approved the Company's stock option plan. For further information on the resolutions voted on by the Company's shareholders at the Meeting, please review the Company's management information circular dated May 15, 2015, which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Following the Meeting, Lance D'Ambrosio, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, was appointed Executive Chairman of the Board and De Lyle Bloomquist was appointed Lead Independent Director of the Board. The Lead Independent Director's responsibilities include coordinating activities and calling meetings of the independent directors and serving as liaison between the Executive Chairman and the independent directors. In addition, Woods Silleroy, Vice President of Operations for the Company's subsidiary, Peak Minerals Inc., was appointed as Corporate Secretary of Company.
