In addition, Carbine has appointed Mr. Rolly Nice to the role of Non-Executive Director. Mr. Nice is a metallurgical engineer with over 45 years experience. Mr. Nice has a strong track record in mineral processing and metallurgy, most recently as a consulting metallurgical engineer in the role of Senior Associate for Behre Dolbear Australia, where he was involved in due diligence activities and consulting on some of the world’s largest poly-metallic, gold and uranium projects including Newcrest's Cadia, Ridgeway and Telfer gold projects, Barrick's Cowal gold project, LionOre's Thunderbox gold project and numerous other nonferrous metal mining projects. Mr. Nice’s work as a consultant has included specific experience in Tungsten processing.

Prior to this, Mr. Nice was the Principal at technical consulting firm, R. W. Nice and Associates, which followed approximately 20 years in a range of roles with Pancontinental Mining Limited, including General Manager Technology and Metallurgy. While with Pancontinental, Mr. Nice was intimately involved in the test work and feasibility studies that led to the development of the Paddington and Kundana gold mines (3.0 Mtpa), the Jabiluka uranium project, the Thalanga Cu-Pb-Zn mine, the QMAG magnesia operation and the Wodgina tantalum operation.

Mr. Nice holds a B.Sc (Metallurgical Engineering) from Queen’s University, Canada, and is a member of the Australian Institute of Engineers and the Canadian Institute for Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum, and a fellow of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy.

Carbine’s Managing Director, Jim Morgan, commented: “We welcome Russell Krause to the Board of Directors in his role as Non-Executive Chairman and feel that his longstanding experience in investment banking and corporate advisory to the resources sector will be an asset to the CNQ Board. Through his role as Director of Novus Capital Limited, Mr Krause has been an active supporter of Carbine Tungsten and we look forward to continuing to work with him to realise the development goals at the Mt Carbine Tungsten Project.

“Securing Rolly Nice as a Non-Executive Director is a further coup for the Company, adding exceptional technical expertise to the Board. Mr. Nice has substantial experience working as a metallurgist across the commodity and jurisdictional spectrum, and specific expertise in hard rock mineral processing. This experience will assist the Company’s senior technical personnel and consultants as Carbine seeks to commence its tungsten processing activities at the Hard Rock Project.

“We would like to again thank Dr. Leon Pretorius for his dedication as Executive and Nonexecutive Chairman over the past 3 years. The Board will continue to work with him on an as needs consulting basis to leverage his vast geological knowledge of the Project.”

Dr. Pretorius commented: “Now that Carbine is fully underway with development plans for its Hard Rock Project and consolidating its existing tailings recovery operations, the demands on the Chairman and Board are both expanding and changing. The strength and depth of experience on the Board is now further complimented with the addition of Russell Krause and Rolly Nice. I remain as a significant shareholder and as a retiring Director, intend to continue my ongoing support and provide technical assistance to the company as needed during this very exciting high growth period.”

Yours sincerely

Carbine Tungsten Limited

A James Morgan Managing Director
