Stans Energy Announces Management Cease Trade Order
November 28 2013 - 8:08PM
Business Wire
Stans Energy Corp. (TSX-V: HRE, OTCQX: HREEF), (“Stans” or the
“Company”), announces that it has made an application to the
Ontario Securities Commission to approve a temporary management
cease trade order (“MCTO”) under National Policy 12-203 Cease Trade
Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults ("NP 12-203"), which, if
granted, will prohibit trading in securities of the Corporation by
certain insiders of the Corporation, whether direct or
indirect.
The Company is unable to file its 2013 unaudited interim
financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2013,
management discussion and analysis (MD&A) relating to the
unaudited interim financial statements, and CEO and CFO
certificates relating to the unaudited interim financial
statements, as required by National Instrument 52-109 Certification
of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and
Interim Filings (collectively, the “Required Filings”) by the
November 29, 2013 filing deadline.
The reason for the delay is that the Company is considering
impairment charges against its assets and needs more time to
determine the appropriate impairment for inclusion in our financial
reporting.
IFRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources
requires entities recognizing exploration and evaluation assets to
perform an impairment test on those assets when facts and
circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the assets may
exceed their recoverable amount. Entities shall measure the
impairment in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets once it
is identified.
On October 31, 2013, Stans announced that it had filed an
international arbitration action against the Government of
Kyrgyzstan for its expropriatory and unlawful treatment of the
issuer in relation to the issuer’s Kutessay II rate earth project.
Stans has complained that state action and inaction has unduly
delayed, prohibited and prevented it from completing necessary
pre-feasibility, feasibility, and other development work at
Kutessay II, and generally has resulted in the issuer being
deprived of the value of its asset. This arbitration does not
strictly relate to state action or inaction with respect to the
issuer’s other properties, but there are dependencies which need
review and analysis. We also observe that our stock market
capitalization has fallen below the carrying amount of our
assets.
Consideration of impairment necessarily follows. The necessary
work to determine the scope and amount of impairment is underway
but is not complete.
The Company anticipates that it will be in a position to remedy
the default by filing the Required Filings by January 28, 2013. The
MCTO will be in effect until the Required Filings are filed.
The Company confirms that it intends to satisfy the provisions
of the alternative information guidelines set out in section 4.3
and 4.5 of NP12-203 so long as it remains in default of filing the
required filings.
There are no insolvency proceedings to which the Company is
subject.
There is no material information concerning the affairs of the
Company which has not been generally disclosed.
About Stans Energy
Stans Energy Corp. is a resource development company focused
on progressing Heavy Rare Earth (HRE) properties in areas of the
Former Soviet Union. In December 2009, Stans acquired a 20-year
mining license for the past-producing Kutessay II rare earth mine
from the Kyrgyz Republic. On May 26, 2011 Stans completed the
purchase of the Kashka Rare Earth Processing Plant (KRP) the same
plant that previously refined REEs historically from Kutessay II.
The KRP was the only hard rock plant to produce all rare earth
elements outside of China, producing 120 different metals, alloys,

earth metals for the former Soviet Union.
We seek safe harbour.
