Euromax Resources Ltd. Announces Withdrawal of Concessions Merger Approval

28.07.2023  |  CNW
VANCOUVER, July 28, 2023 - Euromax Resources Ltd. (TSX: EOX): ("Euromax" or the "Company") announces that the Government of the Republic of North Macedonia (the "Government") has withdrawn its recently granted approval of the merger of the Company's Ilovica 6 and Ilovica 11 exploitation concessions (the "Merger"). This decision contains no explanation of the legal grounds for the reversal of its decision in which the Merger was approved.

The Company will ask the Government to reconsider the Merger at the appropriate time, given its importance for the region and country as a whole.

Taking into account the political circumstances around this sudden reversal of the official decision made by the Government, the Company is evaluating the next steps and will take all actions necessary in order to protect the rights of its stakeholders, which include, amongst others, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (one of the leading institutional investors in North Macedonia), Galena Resource Equities Ltd (an entity controlled by the Trafigura Group, one of the world's largest commodity trading companies), ND Group (a private equity and investment entity from the Netherlands), Equinox Partners (a New York based hedge fund) as well as Royal Gold Inc. (the US incorporated gold royalty company).

While the Company's priority, as the case has been, remains to develop and construct the mine in accordance with the applicable local and international environmental standards, under the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes rules, the Company has already given Formal Notice of a dispute to the Government, and is now able to initiate international arbitration at any time. Any parties involved may also be the subject of direct legal action if this new decision is subsequently proven to be contrary to the laws of the Republic of North Macedonia or politically motivated.

Tim Morgan-Wynne, Executive Chairman, stated: "The Company understands that this decision is sensitive for all stakeholders, but the Company will take all necessary actions legal and otherwise to protect its legitimate rights and its significant historic investment. Whilst the Government may have sought to obtain additional time in order to achieve internal alignment, such arbitrary political decisions, outside of the prevailing legal framework, will ring alarm bells to international institutions and investors, and cast doubts about transparency and legal certainty in the Republic of North Macedonia."
