He was a consultant to the Company for several months prior to his employment.
HXPN, Inc., also known as Harris Exploration Inc., a Nevada corporation, has been inactive for the last several years while the Board searched for a new CEO to lead and establish a vision and direction for the Company. The Company will continue its historic focus on mineral resources development and will also pursue investments in emerging technologies.

Prior to that, Bailey was an independent consultant to public companies for Sarbanes-Oxley implementation and compliance since 2001. Prior to that, Bailey was an auditor and business consultant for a Big Four public accounting firm.
“Steve is the right leader for HXPN,” said Perry Cook, HXPN Board member. “Steve’s extensive mineral resources and financial background will help HXPN in the development of strategic alliances and partnerships that are critical to the Company’s expanded focus. We believe his strong leadership experience will help grow the Company’s revenue and quickly achieve profitability.”
“I am very excited to be joining the HXPN organization,” said Steve Bailey. I believe HXPN has a great business model that will uniquely position it to capitalize on the ever-changing world economic and geopolitical environment. As technology evolution and development will continue to drive the growth of the most successful organizations, my goal is for HXPN to be on the leading edge of that evolution. I look forward to rolling out the Company’s plans and activities in the coming days, weeks and months ahead.”
