John Brock President of CXP Canadian EmpireJohn Brock, president of Canadian Empire, said that: "It is a unique opportunity for a junior explorer to acquire over 90 per cent of an entire shale basin that is prospective for discovery of monster deposits. Shale basins along the ancient shoreline of Western North America host multibillion dollar metal districts such as Sullivan, the Anvil district and Cirque." It is notable that Mr. Brock and Wayne Roberts, vice-president, exploration, of Canadian Empire, each played important roles in the discovery of significant deposits in the Anvil and Cirque camps.
