J-Pacific Appoints John Harrop as Senior Geologist
Thursday March 22, 9:00 am ET
Adds Strength to Its Technical Team
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(CCNMatthews - March 22, 2007) - J-Pacific Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE:JPN - News; OTCBB:JPNJF - News) is pleased to announce the appointment of John Harrop, P.Geo., as its Senior Geologist. Mr. Harrop is a professional geologist and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. He brings to J-Pacific over 24 years' experience in the exploration of minerals in North America and abroad. He has actively participated in the exploration of numerous mineral projects and has extensive experience in computer-generated modelling and analysis. This included leading a team that discovered the Winchester Zone on TNR Gold Corp.'s (TSX VENTURE:TNR - News) Shotgun Gold Project in southwestern Alaska in 2006.
In making the announcement today, J-Pacific's President and CEO, Nick Ferris, said that Mr. Harrop brings considerable experience and highly valuable skill sets to the Company at a most opportune time: "We are delighted to have John Harrop leading our exploration efforts. With our on-going drill programs at Blackdome and Montgolfier and our diversified North American-based portfolio of mineral assets, we have the opportunity of becoming a gold-producing company with a sustaining cash flow while aggressively exploring new gold prospects. Mr. Harrop's skills in leading exploration programs will be invaluable in guiding J-Pacific toward these goals."
Mr. Harrop responded, "I look forward to working with J-Pacific and welcome the challenge of advancing its Blackdome Mine and Elizabeth Projects, and to leading the aggressive series of exploration drill programs at its Montgolfier Project in Quebec and the Callaghan and Golden Trend Projects in Nevada."
J-Pacific has granted incentive options to Mr. Harrop for the purchase of 250,000 common shares at $0.45 per share and for the purchase of 150,000 common shares at $0.65 per share for 10 years. J-Pacific has also granted a total of 100,000 incentive options to an Officer and employee of the Company. The options are exercisable for a period of ten years at an exercise price of $0.45.
J-Pacific is a junior resource company focused on gold exploration and mining in North America. J-Pacific owns the past-producing Blackdome Gold Mine in south-central British Columbia and is completing exploration in immediately adjacent areas and on the Elizabeth Project, located approximately 30 kilometres to the south. In addition, the Company has also been actively exploring in Quebec on the Montgolfier Project, located 35 kilometres east of the Casa Berardi Project held by Aurizon Mines Ltd., and also on the Callaghan and Golden Trend Projects in the Cortez Mining District of Nevada.
