SECTION 5 - CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
Effective on October 6, 2011, the Board of Directors of Douglas Lake Minerals Inc. (the "Company") accepted the consent of Dr. Reyno Scheepers, a current director of the Company, to act as Chief Operating Officer of the Company.
Dr. Scheepers has served as a director of the Company since September 21, 2010. Dr. Scheepers' involvement with the mining industry stretches for a period of over twenty years. He started off as a researcher at the Fuel Research Institute (CSIR) of South Africa where he gained experience in the composition and characteristics of various South African coal fields. This was followed by a two year period as a geologist at a South African gold mine where he gained experience in underground geology, underground and surface exploration and gold exploration project planning. He then joined the University of Stellenbosch where he became a professor in petrology/mineralogy in 1999.
Since 1995 Dr. Scheepers directed his efforts towards the investigation of gemstone deposits covering alluvial and kimberlitic diamond deposits in South Africa, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and in Tanzania. One of his major achievements in Tanzania was the investigation of the geology and technical aspects of the Merelani tanzanite deposit which eventually led to the listing of the first colored gemstone company on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
Dr. Scheepers is also closely involved in the application and development of geochemical analytical techniques and was in charge of the running of an XRF laboratory, an ICP=AES laboratory and a micro thermometric laboratory. He participated in the development of international geochemical reference standards and completed numerous analytical problems for the industry over the years.
Dr. Scheepers' interest in providing small scale miners with the necessary skills to conduct safe and effective mining led to the establishment of the Gemstone Research Centre at Stellenbosch University and currently the Unit for Gemstone Geology ("UGG"). The UGG is a collaborative training and research unit between Free State and Dar Es Salaam Universities through which research on gemstone deposits is currently conducted.
Dr. Scheepers received his B.Sc. (Hons), Cum Laude in 1979, his M.Sc, Cum Laude in 1982 and his PhD in 1990 from the University of Stellenbosch.
As a result, the Company's current executive officers and directors are as follows:
Name | Position |
Reginald Mengi | Chairman of the Board and a director |
Douglas Boateng | President, Chief Executive Officer and a director |
Reyno Scheepers | Chief Operating Officer and a director |
Debra Farquharson | Executive Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer |
