Prism Resources Inc. Receives Schedule of Dates for Summary Judgement of Claim Against Detour
13 December 2019 - 5:46AM
Prism Resources Inc. (TSX.V: PRS) (the “Company”)
announces that its application for Summary Judgement against Detour
Gold Corp. (“Detour”) has been scheduled for hearing in Ontario
Superior Court of Justice on May 28, 2020. The Company
announced on April 30, 2019 that it had filed a Statement of Claim
against Detour.
In its claim the Company seeks general damages
of $10,000,000.00; 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
block owned by Detour is valid charge and enforceable as against
Detour.
The Company announced on July 10, 2017 that it
had entered into an agreement with (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, and Detour’s offers to purchase the Royalty prior to
concluding the agreement with AuRico.
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.
