The meeting elected a new board constituting of Timothy George, Magnus B

McMullen. The board elected Fredrik Lindgren as Chairman of the Board.
Statement from the chairman of the Board, Fredrik Lindgren: "We are very
enthusiastic to begin to work with the IGE Resources Group and the
mineral projects that are held within the Group. The key asset of the
Group, Rönnbäcken, is a fantastic project with the potential to create
substantial value for IGE and its shareholders. The Board will now focus
efforts to quickly produce an optimized plan for NMR and the value
building process of this project, including the change of the Group
structure aiming to separate the Diamond and Nickel assets. With the
support of the competent team of people within the Group at present in
combination with a strong cornerstone investor in Waterton Global Value
L.P and the wealth of expertise and experience brought by the new Board
