03.07.2018 | Newsfile
Vancouver, July 3, 2018 - Forum Energy Metals Corp. (TSXV: FMC) ("Forum") and Golden Share Resources Corp. (TSXV: GSH) ("Golden Share") make the following announcement.Further to its news release of June 13, 2018, regarding the staking of 32 mineral claims over the Afton Vanadium Deposit in Western Wyoming (the "Claims"), it has come to the attention of Forum, as Operator, and Golden Share, that the area where the Claims are situated is not open to mineral exploration and development. Despite the fact that the Claims were recorded without objection at the Bureau of Land Management office in Cheyenne, Wyoming, the Company has been advised that the area in question is subject to the Wyoming Range Legacy Act, part of a much larger piece of federal legislation called the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009. The Wyoming Act withdraws land in the Bridge-Teton National Forest, (where the Claims are situated) from resource exploration and development.
While the Company has sought advice from counsel as to any recourse it may have in the circumstances, it is currently of the position that the Claims are invalid.
