Dr. Jackson has joined our management team. His extensive knowledge and
experience in mining exploration and in the public markets, including at the CEO and
Director level, will be influential as we look to explore our Newfoundland assets and
expand our asset base. Presiding over multiple mineral discoveries and evaluations
over the course his career, Dr. Jackson will serve as an invaluable resource as we
continue to grow St. James Gold."
During his career, Dr. Jackson was also the exploration manager for Houston Oil and
Minerals during the discovery and development of the Borealis, South McCoy and
Manhattan gold deposits in Nevada, U.S.A., founded Crown Resource Corporation in
1981, and discovered several million ounces of gold in the Republic District of

Gold. As an executive, Dr. Jackson has also raised $200 million for the discovery and
development of these and other gold, silver, diamonds, base metals, nickel and uranium
projects.
As stated by Dr. Jackson, "I am excited for the opportunity to play a leading role in the
growth of St. James Gold and to work towards accelerating its exploration prospects in
Newfoundland. St. James Gold has a presence in one of the leading emerging gold
districts in Canada and I look forward to contributing to its growth here and in any future
endeavors."
