Medgold Resources Corp.: Clarification of Technical Disclosure
Posted Under: Exploration Results
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Marketwired – Sept. 16, 2013) – Medgold Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:MED) announces that as a result of a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission, it is issuing this news release to clarify its technical disclosure.
The Company previously published on its website under the “Portfolio” pages, in a corporate presentation dated September 2013 (the “Corporate Presentation”), in certain news releases issued in 2013, and in certain Management’s Discussion and Analysis filed in 2012 and 2013, descriptions of its properties located in Portugal, Spain and Italy (collectively the “Property Disclosures”). Certain of the technical information contained in the Property Disclosures was not compliant with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), as follows:
- The Property Disclosures contained statements that the applicable property has multi-million ounce potential. Such statements are not compliant with NI 43-101 as they were not accompanied by the cautionary language required by NI 43-101 with respect to estimates of potential resources.
- In the Corporate Presentation, the Company discloses that it proposes to conduct at its Limarinho Prospect, Boticas Licence, Portugal trial mining with specific targets for tonnage and grades, as well as disclosing that the Company plans to perform a scoping study with specific targets for production rates and mine life. Such disclosures are not compliant with NI 43-101 as the Company has not yet calculated a mineral resource which would be required prior to doing a formal scoping study, and the disclosure omits to state that there is no guarantee that a mineral resource will be established, and the risks that trial mining of an exploration target will not be economic or successful.
- In the Corporate Presentation, on its website under the “Portfolio” pages, in certain of the Company’s news releases issued in 2013, and in certain Management’s Discussion and Analysis filed in 2012 and 2013, the Company summarizes certain exploration results by selectively reporting only the highest or best values. This type of disclosure is not compliant with NI 43-101 as it does not report the range of values obtained.
The Company retracts the non-compliant statements and has removed them from the Portfolio pages of its website. Please see our website for an updated description of the Company’s properties, as well as a revised corporate presentation dated September 2013.
