Prior to that Mr. Marsden held the position of President, Freeport-McMoRan Mining Company.

3Romarco Minerals Inc. announced assay results from the 2009 exploration program at the Haile Gold Mine, in South Carolina. The 2009 drilling program continues to expand the mineralized zones between and beyond the three proposed pits at Haile. Year to date, approximately 51,000 meters of drilling have been completed in 173 holes. A significant focus of the 2009 drilling program is to identify gold mineralization between the proposed pits in order to bring them into one large pit and reduce the overall strip ratio. Drilling between previously known gold occurrences continues to provide evidence that the mineralization at Haile is a single system. Step-out drilling also continues to identify mineralization and the deposit continues to remain open in all directions and at depth. The company also announces that it has added a fifth rig to the exploration program at Haile. The newly contracted rig is a core drill rig which will be used for exploration and geotechnical drilling. Oriented core samples will be obtained from the core holes in order to guide exploration efforts and to optimize pit slope angles used for mine design work. Connors Drilling LLC, will be performing the core drilling. The drill holes RC-1598, RC-1603, RC-1608, RC-1609, RC-1623, and RC-1624 were drilled in areas identified as favorable for mineralization between the currently proposed pits. RC-1615 and RC-1618 were drilled as step-out holes both north and east of known mineralized zones. Additional drilling has been completed within these areas and the assays are pending. The current drilling is being performed by Boart Longyear and by Romarco's company owned drill. The drill samples are being assayed by Alaska Assay Labs in Fairbanks, AK. Blank samples as well as third party standards were submitted with all of the drill holes. The results of the control samples were within acceptable ranges.

Romarco Minerals Inc. announced assay results from the 2009 exploration program at the Haile Gold Mine, in South Carolina. The drilling within the Snake area includes RC-1532, RC-1539, RC-1541, RC-1554, RC-1556, RC-1557, RC-1558, and RC-1561 as well as the previously released RC-1547. Step-out drilling continues in this area and several holes have assays pending. The assay results demonstrate that the extents of the mineralization at Snake are not bounded. The upper zone of RC-1557 adds ounces within the designed pit, thereby decreasing the stripping ratio. The gold grades encountered in the step-out drilling reflected the intercepts that they extend.
