Prism Resources Inc. Files Notice of Civil Claim Against Detour
02 August 2017 - 7:05AM
Prism Resources Inc. (TSX.V:PRS)
(the
“Company”) announces that it
filed a Notice of Civil Claim in the Supreme Court of British
Columbia against Detour Gold Corp.
(“
Detour”). In its claim the Company seeks
general and special damages, costs and interest, as well as a
declaratory judgement that its 7.5% net profit interest (the
“
Royalty”) in the Aurora and Sunday Lake claim
blocks owned by Detour is a valid charge and enforceable as against
Detour.
The Company announced on July 10, 2017 that it
had entered into an agreement (the “Royalty Purchase
Agreement”) with AuRico Metals Inc. and AuRico Metals
Canadian Royalty Partnership (together “AuRico”)
for the sale by the Company of the Royalty to AuRico.
Following the announcement, the Company and AuRico received a
written communication from Detour claiming the Royalty is invalid
and unenforceable against Detour, notwithstanding Detour’s long and
consistent disclosure record to the contrary.
On July 21, 2017 the Company announced that the
Royalty Purchase Agreement had been terminated, as a direct result
of Detour’s newly stated position repudiating any obligations under
the Royalty. As a result of Detour’s action, the Company has
suffered and continues to suffer loss and damages, including loss
of the benefit of the Royalty Purchase Agreement with AuRico,
It is the Company’s position that the Royalty
was and remains fully enforceable against Detour.
The Company considers Detour to be fully
responsible for the loss of the contract with AuRico and liable for
all resulting damages. The Company intends to assert all
rights available at law to enforce its claim to the Royalty
About Prism Resources Inc.Prism acquired the
Huampar project from Trevali Mining Corporation (TSX:TV) and Nueva
Condor, a private Peruvian mining company, in July of 2016. Our
priority has been to establish good community relations and
agreements which are in process. More recently our focus has been
for the reconstruction of the mine models and organization of the
databases in anticipation of a program designed to examine the
reactivation of mining production. The mining rate will be
determined based on the economics provided by the current study. To
that end, JDS of Mining & Energy have been contracted to carry
out a PEA on the Huampar reactivation project.
