Mr. Lafleur orchestrated the \nexploration drive to advance the bulk gold potential of the Douay Gold \nProject.\nMr. Lafleur has 30 plus years of experience in mineral \nexploration across several continents, where he has been instrumental in leading \nexploration teams to discovery and development, including bulk gold deposits in \nNova Scotia, and the Quebec and Ontario segments of the Abitibi Belt (Timmins, \nMalartic and Val-d'Or). As a senior geologist, Director and executive of several \njunior mineral exploration companies since 2003, Mr. Lafleur has been a leading \nfigure in early and late stage junior exploration companies. Mr. Lafleur has \ncontributed to the advancement of these companies through marketing and \nfinancing as well as actively overseeing gold deposits from early to late \nexploration stages. \nJean is a Professionnal Geologist with l'Ordre des Géologues \ndu Québec (\"OGQ\") and is a Qualified Person under National Instrument (\"NI\") \n43-101 regulations.\nJean Lafleur stated \"I'm extremely delighted to be back at \nAurvista on a full-time basis, where we have previously defined more than 3 \nmillion ounces of gold.

The 20 kilometre long \nproperty, of which less than 5 kilometres has been reasonably tested, contains \nmultiple segments of the Casa Berardi South Break similar in \"Camp\" scale to the \nCadillac Break between Val-d'Or and Malartic. The metallogenic context offers \nmore gold mineralization possibilities that will be fully investigated in the \nnext year. My main focus will be to bring Aurvista to its fair market value over \ntime just as other companies have done or are doing at this time with similar \nprojects in the region.\" \nMr. L...
