Big Valley's QR property acquisition approval withdrawn Big Valley Resources Inc BV Shares issued 25,771,533 Jan 24 close $0.04 Thu 24 Jan 2002 News Release Mr. Edward McGovern reports The Canadian Venture Exchange has withdrawn Big Valley Resources' submission No. 60949, covering the acquisition of the QR property located near Quesnel, B.C. Kinross Gold Corp. is the recorded owner of the QR property. Previous filing with the CDNX, as reported in Stockwatch on April 16 and 20, 2001, will not be proceeding, and the conditional approval previously granted by the CDNX on April 20, 2001, has been rescinded as the CDNX's conditions were never satisfied. The company has not made any application with the CDNX regarding proposed acquisition of the QR mine at this time. Should the company propose to acquire the property in the future, a new filing must be made with the CDNX and regulatory approval will be required. The company erred in its news release of May 2, 2001, concerning the airborne survey completed on the QR property. The company does not own the QR property, and will not be reporting the survey results. In reference to the management discussion for the period ended June 30, 2001, the company wishes to clarify that it had negotiated an agreement with certain shareholders and former insiders on a shares-for-debt transaction for the amounts shown on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2001. These transactions were not completed: Loan payable: $111,197 Due to related parties: $350,413 These agreements are being renegotiated, as the time frame required by the CDNX of 30 days elapsed before the transaction could be completed. The company will submit a proposal for acceptance by the CDNX in the next few days. (c) Copyright 2002 Canjex Publishing Ltd. stockwatch.com |
