In its Jan. 4-10 edition, The Northern Miner notes that Kazakstan Goldfields, Central Asia Goldfields,
and World Wide Minerals were among those most burned in the incredible black hole for North American
mining capital known as Kazakstan in 1998. The Miner's John Cumming writes that
Kazakstan Goldfields and Central Asia Goldfields spent the year embroiled in a $28.6-million (U.S.) claim
against the government of Kazakstan over the cancellation of the Gold Pool joint venture. The
appointment of a working group in March 1998 to resolve the dispute appears to have been a stalling tactic and
Kazakstan Goldfields restarted its lawsuit in October, increasing the claim to $64.8-million (U.S.). The
controversy financially devastated both companies and chased out the two presidents who have been replaced
on an interim basis by chairman Thomas Griffis. World Wide Minerals was squeezed out of Kazakstan after
being lured into the country to help resuscitate its ailing uranium industry, Mr. Cumming writes. In May
1998, World Wide filed a suit against the Kazakstan government in the Federal District Court in Washington,
D.C., seeking damages of at least $220-million (U.S.). "Kazakstan should not underestimate our resolve to
achieve full reimbursement of our loans as well as damages for our loss of profits," World Wide chairman
Paul Carroll is reported stating.
