Mr. Tejada has 30 years of international mineral industry experience and has a proven track record, working with both major international mining companies and exploration focused organizations.

For seven years, Mr. Tejada was Country Manager and President of Philippine subsidiary companies of Phelps Dodge Exploration Corporation ("Phelps Dodge").

While with Phelps Dodge, Mr. Tejada was responsible for corporate matters and exploration activities from project generation, property acquisitions and permitting. In this role, he led the acquisition of 100% ownership of mineral rights over Mountain Mines in Batong Buhay and Taysan copper deposits, deposits with known historical resources. Prior to joining Tirex he was Vice President Exploration of Panoro Minerals Ltd. where he directed the resource definition drilling of its two major copper projects in Peru.

Bryan Slusarchuk, Tirex Chief Executive Officer, states, "Tirex recently announced and described an arrangement through which the company intends to target a fast track into copper and gold production via a mining partnership in Albania. This comes after the company has spent more than four years and more than $25 million on the Mirdita VMS Project. On October 18th, we announced that our mining plans have received official community support from all of the host communities where the mining permit applications are located. Mr. Tejada's leadership in Albania and corporately in Canada, based on his 30 years of international mineral industry experience, will serve the company well during this process. His operational leadership in Albania will allow me to remain devoted to raising the profile of the company through my role as CEO, internationally as we advance corporately."

In conjunction with Mr. Tejada's appointment, he will be granted 500,000 incentive stock options with an exercise price of $0.75 carrying a five year term.
