Mark Späth is a member of the NSX and has been directly involved as corporate advisor and sponsor to numerous companies that have listed (primary / dual / debt issues) on the NSX since September of 2006. In addition, Giyani Gold management has prior experience in working with IJG and listing on the NSX as a result of the listing of Forsys Metals on the NSX.
