ePower Metals Inc. Adds Dr. Gregg C. Bruce to Its Board of Directors and Grants Incentive Stock Options
Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - ePower Metals Inc.
(the “Company” or “ePower”) (TSX.V: EPWR) announces today the appointment of Dr. Gregg C. Bruce to the Board of Directors of the
Company and the grant of incentive stock options.
Michael Collins, President & CEO stated “ePower welcomes Dr. Bruce to our Board, and I look forward to working
with Gregg. I believe his expertise in the Lithium Ion battery space will be very valuable to the Company and
shareholders as we focus on the development of lithium-cobalt battery related metals deposits in Idaho and
globally”.
Dr. Gregg C. Bruce graduated with a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Victoria in British Columbia in 1989 and started
work as Project Manager for the USAF large rechargeable Lithium cell development program in 1992. The timing of this
initial assignment was fortuitous since it coincided with commercialization, by Sony in 1991, of the Lithium Ion battery. The
performance of the cells developed under this program was a very important initial step in the development of large Lithium Ion
cells for space and defense applications. It was during this period where Dr. Bruce was recognized as one of a handful of
North American Lithium Ion technical experts.
For the past seventeen years Dr. Bruce has been involved in the development and manufacture of Lithium Ion
batteries for implantable medical applications. During the same period of time Dr. Bruce has also been involved in the
commercialization of Li/MnO2 cell chemistry producing the “Micro Battery”, the world’s smallest implantable medical
battery using Li/MnO2 cell chemistry. More recently Dr. Bruce’s work has focused on
Li/CFx-MnO2 battery technology and this work has resulted in the award by the US Army for the production of
the BA-5790/U battery for man portable devices.
The Company announces the resignation of William Hughes from the Board of Directors. “On behalf of the
board, I would like to thank William for his contributions to our Company and to wish him the very best in his future
endeavors”, states Michael Collins, President & CEO.
The Company also announces the grant of incentive stock options under the Company's stock option plan to directors,
officers, employees and consultants of the Company to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,225,000 treasury shares. The options are
exercisable at a price of $0.68 per share for a period of three years, and are subject to the policies of the TSX Venture
Exchange and the Company’s stock option plan.
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Michael Collins
President and CEO
