RE:Ahhhh Screw it, I am Outta HereValuehunter72...My understanding is that Patrick Powers was associated with the old shell mining company. Apparently, it was never his attention to stay with QNC. He agreed to stay on for a short period of time as the CFO until a new CEO was hired for QNC. Once QNC had a new CEO in place, Pierre Miron would drop down to the CFO position allowing Powers to exit the company. JMHOs. DYDD.
