Gulfside Appoints New Vice President
Vancouver, B.C. -- January 24, 2012 - Robert L.
Card, President of Gulfside Minerals Ltd.
("Gulfside" or the "Company"),
is pleased to report the Company has appointed
Phillip Thomas, Bsc., MBus., MAIG., to the office
of Vice President, Exploration effective
immediately. His key responsibility will be
advising the board on its exploration strategy and
assisting with its execution.
Mr. Thomas is a mining industry professional with
extensive experience in board, executive and
senior-level roles. The Rincon and Vallenar
projects demonstrate his ability and experience at
quickly bringing to commercialization early-stage
exploration projects, as well as solving technical
problems in the exploration and mining process,
with his keen understanding of geophysics and iron
ore.
Mr. Thomas is a senior officer of Vallenar Iron
Company, Chile ("Vallenar"). He has been
involved with the Vallenar's magnetite iron ore
project since inception in February 2005, when he
was the CEO of Melbourne-based, Admiralty Resources
NL ("Admiralty"), a publicly-listed
company on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX:ADY).
A pilot plant was constructed in 2006 and
full-scale production commenced in 2007. From 2003
to 2008, while Mr. Thomas was Managing Director of
Admiralty, he was responsible for several other
projects, including a lithium deposit in Argentina
(Rincon), a lead zinc deposit in Northern Territory
(Bulman), and a cobalt nickel deposit in Western
Australia (Pyke Hill).
From 1999 to 2003, Mr. Thomas ran his own business
and worked for clients in a range of mining
projects providing exploration, risk, financial
modeling and ore reserve services. Prior to that,
he worked as a consultant for a major international
actuarial consulting firm, and headed up at the
Director-level, the retail division of a private
banking, stockbrokerage and financial advisory
group. He was a part of the team that raised the
capital for and floated 22 companies on the ASX.
Prior to that, he worked for five years with
Macquarie Bank in investment banking, asset
management and fixed interest.
Mr. Thomas holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in
Geology from Australian National University, and a
Masters in Business Marketing from Monash
University, Australia. He holds a Certificate in
Financial Analysis, from the Australian Securities
Institute, and is a member of the Australian
Institute of Geoscientists.
Mr. Thomas brings added strength to the
Company's technical abilities in the iron ore
mineral sector as Gulfside focuses on its iron ore
projects.
