its president until the business was successfully sold in 2003 so that
Mr. Connell could concentrate on the business at East Coast Jet Center.

recognition as F.A.A. and J.A.A./J.A.R. Approved Repair Stations, a
F.A.A. Approved Designated Alteration Station (3rd in existence), a U.S.
Coast Guard Approved Repair Station and a U.S. Department of State

The board believes that Mr. Connell's background and skillset as an
international businessman will prove invaluable as the registrant works
to develop the PMX Gold ATM and associated managed gold account
business plan.

In 2011, his capital investment, personal loan and contribution of his
business's workforce and facilities to the registrant made possible the

and test marketing operation. He was not employed or paid by the
registrant at this time nor compensated for his services.
Since Mr. Cortellini's arrival in the United States in 2008, he has
