Victory Mountain Ventures Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:VMV) ("Victory") is pleased to
announce an addition to its advisory board with the appointment of Richard
Munroe.
Richard Munroe, FGAC, P.Geo.is a registered Professional Geologist and a Fellow
of the Geological Association of Canada with over 36 years' experience in mining
and industrial minerals.
Mr. Munroe has been involved in many aspects of industrial mineral development
since 1977. As a long standing industry consultant and former Western Regional
Manager for Lafarge Canada Inc., a large international construction material and
cement manufacturing company, he was involved in the exploration and development
and permitting of numerous sand/gravel and rock quarry operations.
Mr. Munroe acted as a consultant to Dome Petroleum Limited and Amoco Canada
Resources Ltd., on title status and industrial mineral resource potential of
over 10,000 square miles of private mineral holdings in Western Canada. He also
acted as a liaison and advisor for the pit and quarry industry in the
development of Manitoba's Provincial Land Use Policies and the new Pit and
Quarry Regulations.
Mr. Munroe independently developed a marketing plan to transport concrete
aggregate throughout Western Canada and the United States by rail. The plan
included truck and water shipments of high-purity silica reserves from several
locations in Manitoba and Ontario. He also spearheaded exploration and
development plans for shipping high grade construction aggregates to remote
Canadian Arctic communities by rail, barge and ship.
He also assisted in marketing, developing and strengthening the acceptance of
lightweight aggregate in the concrete and geotechnical industries. This also
included silica products from several locations in Western Canada for industrial
and varied construction purposes.
Advisory Board Member L.J. Guillotte commented, "With Richard's experience in
Pit and Quarry Regulations as well as logistics in Canada and the US, Richard
will surely be an asset to our team. I look forward to working with Richard in
bridging the gap to ensure Victory Mountain reaches its targeted markets
successfully."
CEO Patrick Morris also commented, "We are very pleased to have Mr. Munroe join
L.J. Guillotte on our Advisory Board. Richard's mining expertise in Canada
coupled with his in-depth knowledge of the distribution channels and associated
transport costs within Canada and the US will be invaluable. His knowledge in
these critical areas will help shape our business model and contribute to future
sales and distribution of our frac sand and silica based products."
