Artha Resources Corporation (TSX VENTURE: AHC) is pleased to
announce the appointment of Mr. Alex Knox to its Advisory Board
effective immediately. Alex is one of Canada's leading experts on
rare earth geology with more than 35 years of experience in mineral
exploration, including prospect generation, regional analysis and
economic evaluation.
After Alex graduated with a B.Sc. and a M.Sc. in geology from
the University of Calgary, he spent more than 10 years as a mineral
exploration geologist with Unocal Canada Ltd. During this period he
spent much time studying and exploring most of the known
carbonatite and alkalic rock complexes in Canada for niobium and
rare earth elements, including the Kipawa Alkalic Complex in
western Quebec and the Eldor Carbonatite complex in northern
Quebec.
Since 1993 Mr. Knox has been a mineral exploration consultant,
working in many commodities. Recently he has been retained to
examine and explore rare earth element properties for many
organizations in Canada and recently participated in a comparative
study of heavy rare earth element-enriched deposits worldwide for
an international consulting group.
Mr. Knox lives in Calgary, Alberta. He is a Fellow of the
Geological Association of Canada and a registered Professional
Geologist in Alberta (APEGGA).
Todd McMurray, President of Artha Resources, commented, "Alex's
expertise will be an invaluable asset as the Company begins a
significant rare earth exploration program on several targets in NW
Argentina."
Artha has strategically staked a highly prospective rare earth
portfolio that now covers over 900 square kilometers which includes
the Susques and Cachi properties. At Susques rare earth
mineralization observed to date is hosted in stockwork veins with
the host structure up to 10 meters wide and over 6km in strike
length. Geology is dominated by Ordovician sentiments, Tertiary
intrusive and carbonatites. At Cachi the geology is prospective for
pegmatite related rare earth mineralization based on extensive
granitoid intrusions extending for over 40 km in strike, with
pegmatite dykes up to 300 meters wide intruding neo-proterozoic
gneiss. Strategic staking of rare earth targets actively
continue.
Charles Straw, B.Sc., is the qualified person under NI 43-101
