Mawson clarifies disclosure
VANCOUVER, Sept. 6, 2011 /CNW/ --
VANCOUVER, Sept. 6, 2011 /CNW/ - Mawson Resources Limited ('Mawson') TSX - MAW; Frankfurt - MRY. Mr Michael Hudson, President & CEO, announces that as a result of a
review by the British Columbia Securities Commission ('BCSC'), we are
issuing this news release to clarify our disclosure.
The BCSC identified National Instrument 43-101 ('NI 43-101') compliance
issues on the Company's website, corporate presentation and 2 page
investor relation summary. Firstly, the Company's 2 page summary and
corporate presentation disclosed resource estimates for its
Scandinavian uranium properties that did not report each resource
category separately, added inferred mineral resources to other
categories and disclosed resources solely in the form of contained
metal content. On certain pages on its website the Company had not
updated the Nuottijärvi resource in Finland from an historic to NI
43-101 resource which was completed in September 2010. An exploration
target for the Tåsjo project on an overview page of the Company's
website did not contain the necessary cautionary language. On its
website and corporate presentation the Company failed to clearly
identify and disclose the relationship of the qualified person who
approved and prepared the technical information.
While the Company dedicated significant internal resources to verify the
information contained above, the disclosure to the public through
certain information on the Company's website, in the corporate
presentation and 2 page investor relations summary was not in complete
compliance with NI 43-101. The Company wishes to clarify that all
non-compliant information has been either removed or rectified.
Additionally, given the extremely high grades at the Rompas project in
Finland, going forward the Company will publish a complete breakdown
for all individual grab samples reported.
