Mr. Billingsley previously served as Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of Great Western Minerals Group Ltd. and currently serves on the Boards of Wescan Goldfields Inc., Canadian Platinum Corp. and Jiminex Inc.

Mr. Billingsley is a Chartered Accountant and a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Saskatchewan; a Professional Engineer and a Professional Geoscientist and a member of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan.

In 1983, Mr. Billingsley joined Claude Resources Inc., serving as a director and officer until 1992. With Claude, he was a key part of the team that brought the Seabee Gold Mine (Saskatchewan's largest producing gold mine, having now poured over 1 million ounces of gold) into production, and participated in the discovery of diamond-bearing kimberlite in the Sturgeon Lake area of Saskatchewan. In 1993 and 1994, in his role as a consultant to Great Western Minerals, Mr. Billingsley led the team that discovered two diamond-bearing kimberlites at Candle Lake, Saskatchewan. In 1996, working with Shore Gold, he oversaw the exploration program that resulted in the discovery of the Star kimberlite at Fort a la Corne, Saskatchewan.
