EXPERIENCE – MINERAL RESOURCE ASSOCIATES
MINERAL RESOURCE ASSOCIATES – MULBERRY, FLORIDA – PRESIDENT (1977 TO PRESENT): Mr. Lamb is the owner of Mineral Resource Associates, a professional consulting company dedicated to serving the various participants in the minerals industry including mining and mineral processing companies, land owners, engineering and construction companies, financial institutions, and private investors.

MINERAL RESOURCE ASSOCIATES – PRINCIPAL PROJECTS
Jordan Phosphate Mines Company (1999-2001, 2004, 2004-2007):
Mr. Lamb has participated in two projects for JMPC as a subcontractor to Behre Dolbear & Company. In 1999-2001, the United States Trade and Development Agency funded a feasibility study to determine technically and financially feasible methods to recover and re-circulate process water in the beneficiation plant at the Eshidiya Phosphate Mine in southern Jordan. In March 2004, Mr. Lamb returned to Jordan and the Eshidiya Mine as part of a technical team to evaluate engineering proposals for the re-habilitation and modification of the Eshidiya mineral processing plant.

From November 2004 until May 2007, Representative for the Rehabilitation of the Eshidiya Phase I Beneficiation Plant, a 15 million Euro project involved the supervision of international contractors (Koch and Sofremines) as well as local Jordanian contactors.

Arab Potash Company (2003):
Subcontractor to HSBC through Behre Dolbear & Company to provide a market analysis of the various products produced by Arab Potash Company (Jordan) and its joint venture companies. Products included potash fertilizers, phosphoric acid, phosphate fertilizers (Diammonium Phosphate), bromide minerals and products, hydrochloric acid, cosmetic Dead Sea Mud, and other industrial minerals derived from the Dead Sea brines. The information document published by HSBC resulted in the sale of a 26% interest in APC to Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan.

Farmland-Hydro Limited Partnership (1998-2003):
Retained by FHLP to provide geological and mine planning professional services for the evaluation of the proposed 3.0 million tons of phosphate rock per year Hardee County Mine (Florida). The project included development of a reserve database consisting of drilling and laboratory testing from several drilling eras from 1965 to 2002. The 1999 to 2002 drilling programs were planned by Mr. Lamb and executed under his supervision. Drilling and laboratory services were subcontracted. Chemical analyses were preformed by the FHLP laboratory. The database consisted of more that 9,500 sample test intervals within more than 1,500 drill holes. Mr. Lamb developed the database entry, the reserve calculation, and the conceptual mine planning computer programs as well as produced geologic and data maps, cross sections, and drill logs using commercially available geologic software. The final work product was a life of mine production mine plan (30+ years) that was used for developing a conceptual mining and mineral processing flowsheet and preparing a Development of Regional Impact to file with the appropriate federal, state, and local government agencies who must approve such a regionally significant commercial development.

Champion Resources Limited (1999-2002):
Champion Resources, a Canadian junior exploration company listed on the Vancouver Stock Exchange, retained Mr. Lamb to perform mineral beneficiation testing on samples from the Farim Phosphate Deposit located in Guinea Bissau. The process resulted in producing a 75-77% BPL concentrate with a 95% flotation recovery. Mr. Lamb coordinated with Champions efforts with Bateman Engineering to convert the laboratory process into a suitable flow sheet for the design of a mineral processing plant to be included in a bankable feasibility study seeking loan guarantees from the Government of South Africa.

South Fort Meade Partners (1995-present):
Mr. Lamb has provided technical advise to the financial partners, a consortium of capital market funds and insurance companies, pertaining to the development and operation of the South Fort Meade Mine, a 5.05 million ton per year phosphate mine operated by Cargill Fertilizer in Polk and Hardee counties, Florida. Projects included the verification of phosphate rock reserves for land trades, review of proposed modifications to mining plans, definition of technical risk factors that influenced the security of the capital investment and its tax consequences, and verification of plant operating capacity.

US Agri-Chemical Corporation (1993-2004):
USAC, a SinoChem company, has retained Mr. Lamb for several projects including oversight of a joint-venture mining agreement to preparation of strategic planning reports pertaining to the future availability of phosphate rock in the Southeastern United States.

Fletcher Challenge Limited (1987-1988):
FCL, a publicly traded New Zealand Corporation, retained Mr. Lamb to prepare a reserve database for the Bayovar (Area II) Phosphate Deposit (Peru). The project included utilizing the existing geologic and metallurgical test data, design and supervision of a verification drilling program using a drilling subcontractor, coordination with the on-site metallurgical and chemical assay laboratory, incorporating the new drilling and testing results into the and preparation of geologic maps, cross-sections, drill logs, monthly, interim and final reports.

Bearden-Potter Corporation (1983-1984):
Mr. Lamb was a subcontractor to the Bearden-Potter Corporation during the World Bank financed Sukulu Hills Feasibility Study (Uganda). His activities included the development of a mineral resource database using the existing data, planning and supervision of a drilling and pitting program to verify the original drilling/sampling/testing results, coordination of a surface geologic mapping program, incorporating the new geologic and metallurgical information into the reserve database, and preparing an estimate of the mineable reserves. Mr. Lamb interfaced with other professionals with respect to mine planning, mining engineering, mineral processing, laboratory testing, product market analysis, and beneficiation plant design.

Probayovar (1979-1981):
Mr. Lamb was engaged by Probayovar to develop a computerized resource database of the Bayovar (Area I) Phosphate Deposit (Peru). The results of that effort continued to be used in the promotion of the Bayovar Phosphate Deposit by the Peruvian Ministry of Mining.
