Goldrich wishes to thank Mr. Walters for the foresight, creativity, and leadership he provided to the Company. Mr. Walters was a director of Goldrich for 10 years, of which 6 years was as CEO and President. During his term as director, Goldrich expanded its land position at Chandalar from 1,500 to 22,858 acres, identified a world-class stratabound orogenic gold target, completed drilling to confirm one of the largest placer gold deposits found in Alaska in recent times and which is still open for expansion in three directions, and formed a joint-venture that completed construction of a large placer mine, 8,500 to 10,000 ounces of gold per year with a 13 year mine life, which will begin production in mid-June 2013.  Mr. Walters will be missed on the Board but will continue as a consultant to Goldrich.
