Silver Bull Provides Update on Its US$178 Million Legacy NAFTA Claim Against Mexico
06 June 2023 - 8:00PM
Silver Bull (“the Company”) announces today that it has taken
significant steps in its pursuit of compensation regarding the
Sierra Mojada Project. On March 2, 2023, the Company served a
Notice of Intent with Mexico to initiate a legacy NAFTA claim,
seeking damages resulting from the unlawful blockade of its
project.
In conformity with NAFTA’s dispute resolution
provisions, Mexico extended an invitation for Company
representatives to a meeting held in Mexico City on May 30, 2023.
The purpose of the meeting was to explore the possibility of
reaching an amicable settlement and avoid arbitration. Under NAFTA,
the parties had 90 days to mutually resolve the matter, which
expired on June 2, 2023.
The Company was represented at this meeting by
Brian Edgar, Chairman, two experienced local lawyers, and the
Company’s London-based senior legal counsel specializing in
representing mining companies in disputes with governments, Timothy
Foden of Boies Schiller Flexner LLP.
The next phase of the process entails the
Company filing a Request for Arbitration in mid-June, formally
commencing the arbitration proceedings. The claim filed by Silver
Bull will be for not less than US$178 million dollars.
Having filed the Notice of Intent, Silver has
appointed Boies Schiller Flexner LLP, and terminated the engagement
of arbitration consultant Mr. Erinn Broshko.
Management is confident that it has successfully
assembled the right team to pursue a favorable outcome in the
arbitration.
