LIONS GATE METALS INC. OPENS BEIJING OFFICE
Vancouver, B.C. Canada, January 13, 2008 ? Lions Gate Metals Inc. (TSX-V: LGM) (?The Company?) is pleased to announce that as of January 02, 2009 the company officially opened a dedicated office in Beijing to execute on its model of building strategic partnerships throughout Asia and the Pacific Rim. Additionally, the Company has engaged Mr. Eric Guo to represent Lions Gate Metals in China. Eric Guo, President of China Mining Finance Partners (CMFP), will manage business development activities in China on behalf of the Company.
Mr. Guo has over 10 years of experience in providing financial advisory services, specifically in bridging public and private global companies with Chinese investors. From 1999 to 2003, he assisted Chinese high-tech companies secure financing from international venture capital investors. He joined RFH Equities Co. Ltd. in 2003.. During his three year tenure with RFH, Mr. Guo acted as a financial advisor for several large-scale, state-owned enterprises. Given that the majority of RFH?s financial consulting service was to major clients in the natural resources sector, this became the foundation of China Mining Finance Partners Co., Ltd. (CMFP) in July, 2006. Mr. Guo will be working with Lions Gate Metals to find a strategic partner in China to assist in developing and securing product for the Company?s projects.
President Mark Hewett states: ?Having Eric join our team is part of our concerted approach to develop strategic partnerships with Chinese companies and investors. Continued growth in Asia, despite overall weakness in global equity markets, makes it imperative that LGM establish a strong position in Asia. We have an unparalleled opportunity to build a strong corporate presence globally and enhance shareholder value.?
The company also announces the appointment of Mr. Darren Tindale as Chief Financial Officer. Darren has previously served as a senior accountant for a group of junior mining companies. Mr. Tindale is a director of LGM.
