government. Most recently he spent the past five years as the Regional Geologist for the BC

Ministry of Mines responsible for monitoring mineral exploration and mining activity in northwest

BC. Prior to 2011, Mr. Kyba worked as an exploration project geologist with Ivanhoe Australia,

Hard Creek Nickel Corp. and as a Senior r egional mapping assistant with the BC Geological

Survey. Mr. Kyba is acknowledged for recognizing the relationship between copper/gold

deposits in northwestern BC and the contact between the Triassic -age Stuhini Group and the

Jurassic – age Hazelton Group. This marker infamously named “Red Line” has been traced

over a 10 km strike -length on Metallis’ Kirkham Property and is spatially related to the

mineralized Hawl ison Porphyry, the tabular King Geophysical Target and 4 additional

geophysical anomalies that mimic those associated with developed porphyry copper/gold

deposits in the Golden Triangle.

STEPHEN WETHERUP

Mr. Wetherup is a structural and economic geologist with over 20 years of global exploration

experience. Mr. Wetherup has worked for Fox Geological Consultants, Phelps Dodge

including Freeport -McMoran. Mr. Wetherup is currently the Vice President – Geology with

Caracle Creek Internatio nal Consulting and the Vice -President of Exploration for Commander

Resources Ltd. Mr. Wetherup will be leading and coordinating the Company’s geological

mapping activities.

Metallis President Fiore Aliperti noted: “ We are extremely excited to add to an ad visory team

that already includes the well -respected industry analyst and commentator Lawrence Roulston.

When building an advisory team it is incredibly important to seek out those industry leaders that

not only offer a technical vision to the company but also add real strategic value to your senior

management team. We believe we have found those required qualities and value in both Jeff

and Stephen.”

“In recent years only a handful of people have delivered more impact on exploration within the

Golden Tria ngle than Jeff Kyba. Many standout companies working in the Golden Trian gle

today have adopted the well -publicised “Red-Line” theory in their exploration approach . So to

add one of the two individuals who presented this influential hypothesis to the industry is hugely

important, especially as we plan our drilling , consider approaches to further explore our

numerous targets, and bring the K irkham property to its next phase of development .” stated

Metallis Resources’ CEO, Fiore Aliperti.
