Over the past several years, there has been an increased focus on corporate governance in both the United States and Canada.
The Board of Directors has approved a set of corporate governance guidelines to promote the effective functioning of the Board of Directors and to set forth a common set of expectations as how the board should manage its affairs and perform its responsibilities. Ivany Mining has adopted a Code of Busines Conduct and Ethics that is applicable to all directors, officers and employees.
