Mr. Kahama is a councilor at the Tanzania Chamber of Energy & Minerals

Tanzania - and more specifically with the nation's growing relationship
with the People's Republic of China - is formidable to say the least
and will serve the company well in the future."

Respectfully Submitted,

"James E. Sinclair"
