Ann: AuStar Gold to be acquired by White Rock Minerals, page-127

Nick didn't have mining credentials but MCO had Peter Jackson who was regarded as the expert geologist in the Woods Point district advising him. Also Peter Hepburn-Brown as an advisor and later board member I think. He seemed to have an enviable reputation in the Gold fields. Look him up. I think he was boss of MML recently.
How many geologists have worked for the mentioned companies? Often you see exploration outfits announce a former geologist from a major is joining and everyone gets excited as if he brings an economic resource with him.
I am happy about the merger as I think their Alaskan projects show promise but again I ask how much they will want to divert from what look better prospects. I hope its just enough to keep a minimal news flow during the quiet time.
