New BMEC management from the Welsh Hagen team includes John Welsh, President and Director, Douglas Willis, Vice President-Exploration, and Caren Idzinga, Secretary. Management from the Eros team includes Ronald Netolitzky, Chief Executive Officer and Director, and Andrew Davidson, Treasurer and Director.

Soil Geochemical Survey Samples Collected and Submitted for Analysis
As previously reported, Eros has initiated a soil geochemical survey to identify drill targets in order to expand the existing resource model at Bell Mountain gold focused project. We are pleased to report that the soil samples have been collected and have now been submitted to the lab for analysis.
Eros collected 1,000 soil samples on a 200 ft x 200 ft sample grid. Where bedrock was present, rock-chip samples were collected. Certified reference material, blanks, duplicates, and second-lab check assays are part of the quality control and assurance program. The samples will guide determination of drill targets by anomalous gold in soil and favorable geology (silicification) where present. Reverse-circulation exploration drilling will test targets as warranted.
