Mr Crowe, aged 64, is a graduate geologist from Trinity College Dublin. He was the founding chairman and managing director of CSA Global Pty Ltd, a mining consultancy company founded in Ireland in 1983 and now headquartered in Australia. He is a specialist in zinc-lead exploration and was involved as a principal in the discovery and development of several notable mines. He has served on the board of four public companies listed in Dublin, London, Vancouver and Australia. As a consultant, he was responsible for the re-interpretation of the Caijiaying Zone III pre-mining resource model and also as project manager for the start-up development of the Caijiaying mine between 2003 and 2005.

Rupert brings to the Company a wealth of geological and mining knowledge and experience. Having assisted Griffin in the past in developing the Caijiaying Zinc Gold Mine, Rupert is well versed in the Company's business and its dealings in China. He will be an invaluable addition to the Board as Griffin further develops Caijiaying and seeks opportunities elsewhere"
