Monet as President and chief executive officer, replacing Jean
Martineau who will remain Chairman of the Company and President and
CEO of Dynacor Gold Mines Inc.
"I look forward to leading the growth potential of Malaga by
bringing our production to its optimal capacity and by optimizing
our processes and upgrading our hydro electrical power plant. A key
element I have at heart is to unveil the mineral potential of our
Pasto Bueno property through extensive exploration and increasing
its reserves and resources", commented Mr. Monet.

support of Jean Martineau as Chairman. Jean was successful in
putting the Pasto Bueno mine back into production in 2007 and
brought it to its current level. His extensive experience of Peru

Financial Officer. As CFO he was responsible for helping
restructure Malaga's spin-off from Dynacor Gold Mines, negotiate a
long-term contract with a major tungsten user, and arrange debt and
equity financings. M. Monet has close to 15 years of experience in
the resources industry, 5 of which were at Iron Ore Company of
Canada, a subsidiary of Rio Tinto. He is also an experienced
finance professional who has managed large acquisition,
restructuring and financing projects for public and private
companies and a member of the Chartered Institute of Canadian
Accountants since 1986.
"Pierre has made important contributions to Malaga and is well
positioned to help the Company continue to grow," said Jean

an extensive financial background will play a key role in Malaga's
future successes and accomplishments."
