Mr. Wright also served previously with Merrill Lynch Canada Inc. and Peat Marwick Mitchell. He is a Chartered Accountant and holds a Bachelor of Mathematics degree from the University of Waterloo. The Company also announced it has granted options to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,000,000 common shares of Peat Resources Limited to six directors and one consultant. The options are exercisable at $0.20 per share and will expire on January 19, 2015. Following this grant, the Company will have 3,900,000 options issued under its rolling 10% stock option plan with 48,258,816 issued and outstanding common shares. The transactions are subject to certain conditions, including regulatory approval. Peat Resources Limited was formed to explore, develop, produce and market peat fuel – a sustainable bioenergy resource. Rising energy prices, increased sensitivity to environmental issues, and government energy policies, including Ontario's commitment to eliminate the burning of coal for power generation, have enhanced opportunities for the use of peat fuel in electricity generating stations and other facilities that require economically competitive, environmentally favorable, and consistent quality energy supplies.
