Crosshair Energy Corporation Provides Corporate Update
07.06.2013 | Marketwired
VANCOUVER, 06/07/13 - Crosshair Energy Corporation (TSX: CXX) (NYSE MKT: CXZ) ("Crosshair" or the "Company") announces that it plans to voluntarily delist its common shares from NYSE MKT. Further to the Company's news release dated April 8, 2013, management's belief is that under the Company's current financial circumstances, it is not practicable for it to maintain a plan of compliance that would satisfy NYSE MKT's continued listing requirements. As a result, the Board of Directors of the Company determined that it is in the best interest of the Company to delist voluntarily from the NYSE MKT. The Company formally notified NYSE MKT on Friday, June 7, 2013 of its intention to file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on or about Tuesday, June 18, 2013. The Company expects that the delisting will take effect on or about Friday, June 28, 2013. Upon completion of the delisting from NYSE MKT Crosshair's common stock will be transferred to the OTC Markets Group's OTCQB Marketplace ("OTCQB"). Associated with the move to OTCQB, Crosshair has opted to subscribe to the Exchange's Real-Time Level 2 Quote Display Service so that investors and market participants will be able to view real-time stock quotes for Crosshair at www.otcmarkets.com. Crosshair continues to be listed under the symbol "CXX" on the TSX, Canada's premier stock exchange.
In addition to its voluntary delisting from the NYSE MKT, the Company also announces that, in its capacity as Manager of The Bootheel Project LLC, it has been unable to reach an agreement with MJ Ranches Inc. ("MJ Ranches") regarding leasing MJ Ranches' 75% ownership of certain minerals on fee land that form part of the Bootheel Property. The private mineral lease and surface use agreements between The Bootheel Project LLC and MJ Ranches have expired and negotiations to reach a new agreement with MJ Ranches, on terms which more accurately reflect current market conditions, have been unsuccessful. Certain portions of the Mineral Resources included in the Technical Report issued by Crosshair, dated February 27, 2012, are located on those lands which were subject to the mineral lease with MJ Ranches. The Company will evaluate any associated impairment charges.
The Company also reports that Mr. Mark Ludwig has resigned as President & CEO of Crosshair, effective as of Monday, June 10, 2013. Mr. Ludwig has been with the Company since July 2011 and the Board thanks him for his efforts during this time. Mr. Jim Crawford, Crosshair's Vice President Corporate Development, has been appointed as interim President & CEO.
