Marketwired Canada
Woulfe Mining Corp. ("Woulfe" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:WOF)(OTCQX:WFEMF)(FRANKFURT:OZ4) provides the following corporate
update.
Following the resignation of the former executive management team (See News
Release dated February 27, 2013), the Board and the interim CEO have initiated a
comprehensive investigation into the Company and its subsidiaries to ensure
business continuity. Following an extensive internal and external assessment of
the Company and its subsidiaries, the Board and interim CEO have identified
issues relating to liquidity and the ability of the Company and its
subsidiaries, including Sangdong Mining Corp., to meet various payables beyond
the next few months.
The Board and interim CEO recognize the seriousness of these issues, including
the potential ability to advance its key Sangdong Tungsten Project located in
South Korea in the manner and timing anticipated in earlier corporate
communications.
Currently, the Board and Interim CEO have initiated an internal review to
further preserve cash, reduce costs and enhance corporate efficiencies. In
addition, the Company continues negotiations with various parties to provide a
short-term financing solution to meet its obligations and to provide funds to
advance the Company's flagship Sangdong Tungsten Project, although there is no
guarantee that such financing may be available. Longer term, the Company, with
the considerable assistance of its largest shareholder, Dundee Corporation,
continues its ongoing discussions with IMC International Metal Working Companies
B.V. in order to reach a successful completion of the strategic transactions
announced in February 2012.
The current Board review also investigated, with the assistance of Dundee
Corporation, the technical aspects of the Sangdong Tungsten Project and
identified considerable additional test work necessary to bring the project to
commercial preparedness. This will require additional funding to complete.
Meanwhile, a full complement of staff and employees remain on site at the
Sangdong Tungsten Project planning further technical work and assessment.
On Behalf of the Board of Directors
