Greg, thanks for your time.
JMS Thanks for having a discussion with me today, Cameron. Please to meet you.
15 BRR Greg, let’s begin with your journey to the Chief Executive Officer’s position please?
JMS Ah yes, I’ve been in the mining industry over 25 years, decided to work as a metallurgist and gradually worked myself up through the ranks. I had spent 11 years with Normandy Mining in Newmont and got promoted through the
20 system. When I left Newmont, we’re successful in getting a Chief Executive Officer as well in the company at the junior end of the market and I’d really do enjoy working at the junior end.
BRR And Greg you’re a busy man. What’s the typical working week look like for
25 you?
JMS Well it’s a pretty busy at the moment at the Jupiter, we’ve got a very small team with about three geologist, exploration manager headed up by Bill Guy, and we’ve quite a large exploration portfolio, so we’re managing all those tenements and we’ve actually got two drill programs happening at the
30 moment in two different locations and manage between a team four. So we’re very busy and then of course, looking after all the corporate activities of the company as well, attending seminars, presenting at seminars, and seeing brokers. So it’s a very busy demanding role but a very enjoyable one nevertheless.

BRR And Greg, I imagine you’ve had some great highlights throughout your career. What would you say would be the greatest highlight of all?
JMS I think, getting promoted up into General Management position in the first instance with Normandy Mining, that was a great achievement, and being
40 successful in that role, so that was a career highlight, career defining step.
BRR Sure, and what’s the best piece of advice you’ve received so far?
JMS Well, that’s a difficult one. I think we all received advice various times during our life. I think one of the things to do is treat people fairly, tell the truth, be
45 honest, and enjoy your work, workout. I think it’s one of the things going forward is what I believe in.
BRR And Greg, what do you do in your spare time? What are some of your hobbies or activities?
JMS Well spare time, I’ve at got two young sons, the 11-year-old and 9-year-old. The oldest one races motocross, so that’s pretty demanding. The youngest one, he plays football. So, between the two of them, that case we’re pretty busy but I enjoy doing that.

BRR And Greg, finally work life balances obviously pretty important to most people how do you fit your busy schedule in with the demands of your family?
JMS Well, I make sure that during the day you get your work achieved that you need to get achieved and I certainly enjoy nights at home with the family and
10 certainly on the weekends. At weekend activities, we’ve got a house gardening case. We’re pretty busy, but also I like working on engines and things like that. I have my son’s motocross engine of which I do the work on that. I have a number of motorcycles myself, I do motorcycle touring and I always do on a mechanical work, so I enjoy dose of activities. That’s a
15 complete break from the rigors of workday. It’s something that you can totally switch off and enjoy your time off working on motorcycles.
BRR Greg, we really appreciate your time today and getting to know a little bit more about you. Thanks again and we wish you well at your time at Jupiter
20 Mines.
JMS Thanks very much, Cameron.
