Mr. Brandreth comes from a background of providing Investor Relations, Corporate Communications and Corporate Development services to multiple publically traded companies on the TSX.V including Lucky Strike Resources and Fission Energy. Mr. Brandreth has grown, and continues to maintain a strong network in and around the capital markets. His drive and leadership skills have lead him to the position of director for various public companies and co-founder of Trident Financial - an IR firm based in Vancouver.

Mr. Brandreth's experience in communicating with investors and building up the corporate image through various marketing channels will be key in assisting Eagle Star to get its story across to the investment community and building up shareholder value.

"Eagle Star welcomes the additions of both Mr. Carvalho de Mendonca and Mr. Brandreth to our team. Their strong communication, managerial and interpersonal skills along with their extensive experience in mining (Mr. Carvalho's) and Investor Relations (Mr. Brandreth's) will prove to be highly beneficial to our strategy and the very busy schedule planned for 2012," stated Mr. Eran Friedlander President & CEO.
