TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / August 11, 2016 / Stans Energy Corp. ("Stans" or the "Company") announces that an appeal has been filed in the matter of Belokon et. al v. the Kyrgyz Republic (the "Republic"), of which Stans was a joint applicant.
As announced on July 12, 2016, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice had ruled that Centerra Gold (TSX: CG) shares (the "Shares") are the property of Kyrgyzaltyn JSC ("Kyrgyzaltyn") not the Republic.
At issue was whether the Republic was in fact the beneficial owner of the Shares through Kyrgyzaltyn, the mining company 100% owned by the Republic. The shares are currently being pursued as security in multiple cases of damages awarded by various International Arbitration Tribunals against the Republic.
Stans is not proceeding as an appellant in this appeal to the Ontario Court of Appeal. Instead, Stans is focusing on its upcoming UNCITRAL proceedings, which will next be held on September 23, 2016 in Paris, France.
Stans will reassess the situation, once the Ontario Court of Appeal issues a ruling. No date has been set for this appeal hearing.
