The Company also announced that Dr. Thomas ("Tom") Henricksen will join Eaglecrest's Board of Directors. "We are extremely pleased to have Walter in an expanded role with the Company and to welcome Tom to Eaglecrest," said Hans Rasmussen, President and Chief Operating Officer.

As Vice President, Exploration, Mr. Lienhard will manage all aspects of the business in the Santa Cruz, Bolivia office and oversee all exploration activities on the San Simon project as the Company continues to build and focus its geologic team. In addition to working with Bear Creek Mining Company and Kennecott Exploration for more than 15 years, Mr. Lienhard has over 10 years of experience in all phases of exploration in Latin America, including project and country management with Kennecott and junior exploration companies. He received a B.Sc. in Geology from the University of Arizona in 1976. Dr. Henricksen brings substantial experience from his 35 years in the mineral exploration business, including over 20 years with Bear Creek Mining Company, Kennecott Exploration and Rio Tinto Exploration. During the past 10 years he has been a consultant geologist in South America, holding various positions with Rio Tinto Exploration in Peru and Bolivia and Norsemont Mining in Peru.
