Mexico Pacific Limited (MPL), a Pacific Coast LNG project based in Mexico, 
announced today that its Board of Directors has named Douglas Shanda as 
President and Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. 

"We are delighted to welcome Doug to the MPL team," said Page Maxson, Chairman 
of MPL. "Doug brings extensive LNG project development, construction and 
operations experience from senior leadership positions at some of the most 
prestigious North and South American LNG companies.  His depth of experience 
and proven leadership capabilities will further accelerate MPL's trajectory 
through FID into the construction and commencement of operations."

"MPL is on track to become the leading Pacific Coast provider of North American 
LNG," said Mr. Shanda. "With major permitting completed for 12 mtpa, the 
project offers substantial cost advantages, as it benefits from existing 
pipeline access to abundant and low cost natural gas supply and lower shipping 
costs to South America and Asia due to its West Coast location. I look forward 
to working in Houston with the talented MPL team as we prepare to take FID and 
commence construction."

"Doug's excellent track record and world-class LNG expertise is invaluable and 
will serve us well as we finalize our off-take discussions and FEED award, 
positioning us for FID," said Mr. Mark McComiskey, partner at AVAIO Capital.

Mr. Shanda has been professionally involved in the LNG, power, chemical, 
petrochemical and refining industries for more than 25 years. Most recently, 
Mr. Shanda served as Senior Vice President of Operations at Cheniere Energy, 
the largest LNG producer in North America. He successfully managed the LNG 
development from concept to operations, and was responsible for the overall 
management of the Sabine Pass Liquefaction Terminal in Louisiana and Corpus 
Christi Liquefaction Terminal in Texas and the pipeline assets, which included 
production, marine, maintenance, technical services, EHS, security and 
administration. Prior to joining Cheniere, he served as the Senior Project 
Engineer, Technical Manager and Plant Manager for the PERU LNG liquefaction 
plant in Melchorita, Peru. Mr. Shanda has a B.S. degree in Electrical 
Engineering from Iowa State University.
