Altai Responds to Mastro Capital’s Press Release and Updates on Altai's Business
February 10 2023 - 8:30AM
Altai Resources Inc. (ATI, TSX VENTURE; US SEC Rule
12g3-2(b) File # 82-2950) ( “Altai” or the “Company")
responds to a press release disseminated by Mastro Capital
(“Mastro”, the President of which is John Mastromattei), a
shareholder of the Company.
Mastro's press release contains a number of
inaccurate statements with respect to the Company’s continuous
disclosure record. The Company categorically refutes Mastro’s
allegations. The Company has maintained its continuous disclosure
record and filings in accordance with securities and corporate laws
and the rules and policies of the TSX Venture Exchange, in all
material respects. Further, the annual meeting of shareholders has
always been held in accordance with corporate and securities laws.
The re-scheduling of the annual meeting of shareholders in December
2023 was unavoidable due to a personal emergency of a member of
senior management.
Management has received a number of proposals
from Mr. Mastromattei in the past, all of which have been reviewed
by the directors of the Company and determined not to be in the
best interests of the shareholders of the Company. Management
continues to be available to meeting with Mr. Mastromattei to
review other proposals.
In terms of the Company's business, Altai is
continuing its claim in the Superior Court of Quebec against the
Minister of Energy and Natural Resources of Quebec and the Quebec
Government, as represented by the Attorney-General for Quebec
(collectively the “Defendants”) to defend the Company’s rights and
to seek compensation from the Defendants for the unlawful
expropriation of its Quebec oil and gas licences by the Defendants
by the enactment of the 2022 Act ending exploration for petroleum
and underground reservoirs and production of petroleum and brine,
CQLR c R-1.01 (the “Act”). The Honourable Philippe Cantin, J.S.C.
has been appointed as case management judge to jointly manage the
legal proceedings filed by Altai and other holders of licences that
similarly contest the validity of the Act.
The Company has been working in the oil and gas
industry in Quebec, Canada for more than thirty years, has entered
into several licence agreements, and has incurred vast expenditures
in the exploration and development of its oil and gas licences, the
whole, at the instigation of the Defendants and with their
assurances that the rights of parties to explore and exploit their
discoveries would be respected.
In addition, Altai has participated in
a multi-hole drill program on its 50% owned Malartic gold
property in the Malartic area west of Val
d’Or, Quebec, carried out by the property’s joint-venture
partner and operator, Globex Mining Enterprises Inc. (which names
the property as Blackcliff Gold Mine property). The drill
program has now been completed. The operator is waiting
for all assay results before compiling all data and the technical
report.
