Spark Energy Minerals Inc. has added Ian Gendall to its technical advisory board.

Mr. Gendall is the president and chief executive officer of DLP Resources and was previously with Gencor, Billiton, Anglo American, Antofagasta and, more recently, Oceanagold.

He adds a wealth of experience, particularly his success in Brazil, which speaks for itself. We appreciate the depth experience that he brings to our technical advisory board."
