Been reading the Hot Copper forum for a while and finally decided to publish my first post.

Some may suggest not to take into account, the people leading an exploration company. Although, in some cases it may be the case, we should not disregard the experience of a man like Mark Johnson.

Below is a brief summary of his 40 years corporate finance industry experience:

PREVIOUSLY

• Chairman of Macqarie Infrastructure Group in 2010
• Deputy Chairman of Macquarie Bank in 2007
• Chairman of AGL Energy
• Chairman of Guinness Peat Group
• Chairman of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute from 2005 to 2008
• Chairman of APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC) in 2007
• Chairman of APEC Business Summit in 2007
• Awarded Order of Australia (AO) in 2010
• Commandar of the Order of the Crown (Tonga)

CURRENTLY

• Director of Conto Resources
• Director of Westfield Group
• Chairman of Alinta Energy
• Chairman of Dragoman
• Partner / Senior Advisor Gresham Investment House since 2007
• Chairman of the Australian Financial Centre Task Force
• One of 3 Australian representatives on the APEC
• Business Advisory Council (ABAC) since 2002
• Chairman’s Committee of the Australian Institute of Company Directors
• Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors
• Chairman of the US Study Centre Foundation of Sydney University
• Chairman of the Advisory Board of the APEC Study Centre at RMIT
• Member of the ASIC External Advisory Panel
• Member of the Board of Governors of the Institute for International Trade at the University of Adelaide
• Member of the Advisory Council of SMART Infrastructure Facility at the University of Wollongong
• Sole Shareholder of Dateline
• 100% Beneficial Interest of Matai
• Life Governor of the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute

Apart from the above, add to the fact that Conto has a very low market cap and is reasonably cashed up, not to mention a promising site in Udu with a thorough 3 stage exploration plan.

If this isn't encouraging for investors, then what is?

This is simply the opinion of a shareholder holding approximately 1.3% of the market cap.

Feel free to add, comment or correct any of the information I have posted.

Cheers and all the best to everyone.
