Mr. Edward Minnema, President of Secure, states, "I am very pleased with the impressive credentials that Mr. Handford brings to Secure who will prove to be a much appreciated asset. Mr. Handford's wealth of knowledge of mineral deposits including those in Arizona, together with his extensive knowledge of mining operations and experience in the construction industry will bring uncompromised wealth to Secure and to Secure's present and future shareholders.

Edward is putting together a solid company by focusing on Corporate fundamentals and the building of a very specific type of mining portfolio creating true assets for the company and thereby building shareholder value while minimizing dilution. My focus will be on the mining and exploration divisions of the company and I am confident that with my many years of experience I will help the company obtain both exploration and near production property assets and build a solid Company."
