Stans Energy Applies for Extension of Management Cease Trade Order

Toronto, Ontario CANADA, January 21, 2014 /FSC/ - Stans Energy Corp. (TSX-V: HRE, OTCQX: HREEF), ("Stans" or the "Company"), announces that that it has made an application to the Ontario Securities Commission to approve an extension to its existing management cease trade order ("MCTO") under National Policy 12-203 Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults ("NP 12-203"), which, if granted, will prohibit trading in securities of the Corporation by certain insiders of the Corporation, whether direct or indirect.

The Company had previously been granted an MCTO on December 20, 2013  In its application, it had advised that it expected to be in a position to file its 2013 unaudited interim financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, management discussion and analysis (MD&A) relating to the unaudited interim financial statements, and CEO and CFO certificates relating to the unaudited interim financial statements, as required by National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings (collectively, the "Required Filings") by January 28, 2014.

The reason for the delay was that the Company is considering impairment charges against its assets and needs more time to determine the appropriate impairment for inclusion in our financial reporting.

The Company has now applied to extend the MCTO and to include its new interim Chief Financial Officer, Boris Aryev as a person to be bound by the order. The Company now anticipates being in a position to file the Required Filings by February 28, 2014.

The following facts and events have led to this change in the anticipated filing date of its Required Filings:

(a) the Company's CFO had been on a medical leave and the Company was advised she would not be returning; announced by the Company January 8, 2014;

(b) Boris Aryev (the Company's chief operating officer) has been appointed interim CFO and will now be responsible for certifying the Required Filings as CFO, and two financial consultants, Doug Varty, a former partner at KPMG, and Lena Masters, a previous CFO at the Company have been engaged and will assist Mr. Aryev, announced by the Company January 14, 2014;

(c) It is now understood that the consultants hired by the Company to assist with asset valuation in Kyrgyzstan for impairment purposes will complete their work by the end of January, 2014.

(d) Once all data has been received, it is anticipated that a further period of 2 to 4 weeks will be required to translate and interpret and compile the results, coordinate with the issuer's auditors in respect thereof, and complete for filing the issuer's required filings.

The existing MCTO presently continued in effect.

The Company confirms that it intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines set out in section 4.3 and 4.5 of NP12-203 so long as it remains in default of filing the required filings.

There are no insolvency proceedings to which the Company is subject.  

There is no material information concerning the affairs of the Company which has not been generally disclosed.
