"I welcome Ken to our team and feel his appointment is particularly timely given that our ability to conduct resource exploration activities on the Company's Fostung tungsten property has been adversely impacted by the current economic and financial environment. I believe that it is prudent, in order to enhance shareholder value, to explore new business opportunities," explained Janus' interim President and CEO, Mr. Joseph Sierchio. "Ken's years of experience and expertise will be of great assistance in our efforts to locate and, if appropriate, acquire a new business opportunity."

Dr. Kirkland will assist Janus in assessing the commercial viability of new business opportunities extending beyond the Company's current resource exploration operations. He brings a focused, pragmatic approach to negotiation and the evaluation of the commercial potential of new technologies and prospective acquisition targets. He is able to work effectively with commercial companies and academic institutions in bringing new products and technologies to market.

Dr. Kirkland's latest appointment was with Iowa State University as Executive Director of the Research Foundation and Director of the Office of Intellectual Property and Technology Transfer. While there, he was successful in increasing the licensing of the University's technologies to companies to achieve number one ranking among U.S. universities in the number of license executed. Dr. Kirkland also spearheaded successful litigation against infringers of the Research Foundation's intellectual property resulting in total settlements of $20 million.

Dr. Kenneth Kirkland completed his undergraduate studies in the U.K., and obtained his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Agronomic Crop Science from Oregon State University.
