Slater was recommended to Miranda by the Lundin Group of Companies following
the recent financing in which Global NR Holding SA, a Luxembourg based holding

Company.
Mr. Slater is the President and CEO of Fortress Minerals Corp., a gold
exploration company which forms part of the Lundin Group of Companies. Mr.
Slater has been involved in the gold mining industry for 16 years and most
recently was a partner with Ernst & Young where he led their mining practice.

with government negotiations for many major mining companies. Mr. Slater has a
Bachelor in Business Administration and is a Canadian Chartered Accountant.
Miranda is pleased to have Mr. Slater join the Board of Directors and we look
forward to both the Lundin association he brings to Miranda as well as his
individual skill sets. In particular, as Miranda is currently seeking avenues
of growth, we see Mr. Slater's expertise in mergers and acquisitions as a huge
benefit to the company as we move into 2008.
