First Bauxite Corporation Announces Appointment of New Director

First Bauxite Corporation has announced that it has further strengthened its Board of Directors with the appointment of Mr. Alan Roughead as a Director.

Mr. Demetrius (Jim) Heras, one of the co-founders of the Company, who served for three years as its Chairman and an additional six years as a Director and was instrumental in shepherding the early growth and funding of the Company, has resigned. The Board of Directors, on behalf of all shareholders, wish to thank Jim for his dedication and hard work and his commitment to support the new Board and to continue to be a conduit to our loyal existing shareholders.

Mr. Roughead, who is based in Australia, brings over 25 years of experience in the industrial and refractory minerals space. During the last 12 years, until its sale to Sibelco, Alan was CEO & Director of Queensland Magnesia Pty Ltd, one of the world's largest producers of magnesia for the global refractory and chemical markets. Mr. Roughead holds a Bachelor of Economics (Hons.) degree from the University of Western Australia and served as a Director of Talison Minerals Pty Ltd. from 2007 - 2009.

In connection with this appointment, the Company has granted to Mr. Roughead a five-year incentive stock option for the purchase of up to 300,000 common shares of the Company at a price of Cdn$0.26.

"I am very pleased that Alan has agreed to join our Board at this time," said Hilbert N. Shields, President & CEO. "Alan's appointment adds valuable industry operating expertise to First Bauxite's Board as we move forward with preparing for construction and operation of the Company's Bonasika refractory bauxite property in Guyana. First Bauxite is increasingly well positioned to be the next major, long life, low cost, producer of refractory grade bauxite. I would also like to extend my personal thanks to Jim Heras for his past guidance and support of the Company."
