Goldeye Explorations (the Company) (TSX VENTURE: GGY) is pleased to announce that Mr. Jorma Hannila, P.

Mr. Hannila stated, "I believe that Goldeye is poised for spectacular growth. Tyrrell, Sonia-Puma and Sandy Lake all have the potential to host one or more gold deposits. What is required now is a well-planned, well-executed and aggressive exploration program for each project to turn that potential into producing gold mines. I am excited to be part of this next phase and look forward to sharing good news with our shareholders."

We welcome him to Goldeye and look forward to his heading up the team that will drive the Company forward to develop our significant and well-placed properties.
