Stans Energy Updates Status of Management Cease Trade Order

Toronto, Ontario CANADA, February 07, 2014 /FSC/ - Stans Energy Corp. (HRE - TSX Venture, HREEF - OTCQX),  ("Stans" or the "Company"), announces that further to its application dated November 28, 2013 for a Management Cease Trade Order (MCTO), a temporary MCTO of the Ontario Securities Commission (the Commission) was issued on December 9, 2013.  This MCTO prohibits all trading in and all acquisitions of the securities of the Company, by certain insiders, until two days after receipt by the Commission of all the required filings as noted in the Company's November 28, 2013 press release.  

Until the MCTO is lifted, Stans will comply with the alternative information guidelines set out in National Policy 12-203 - Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults for issuers who have failed to comply with a specified continuous disclosure requirement within the times prescribed by applicable securities laws. The guidelines, among other things, require the Company to issue bi-weekly default status reports by way of a news release, and one will be forthcoming in the prescribed time frame.

Rodney Irwin, Interim CEO and President, reports that the Company is continuing to work on evaluating potential impairment considerations of both exploration and evaluation costs on mineral properties in Kyrgyzstan and on the Company's Kashka Rare Earth Processing Facility ("KRP"). Furthermore, the review of corporate records continues to determine the date when impairment of assets may be reflected in the Company's financial statements.

On February 3, 2014 the Company reported that the Ontario Securities Commission extended the MCTO to provide additional time to complete this evaluation of potential impairment and the Company anticipates being in a position to file the Required Filings by February 28, 2014.

On February 8, 2014 the Company reported that the Government of Kyrgyzstan in reaction to the Company's ongoing International Arbitration claim has formed an inter-departmental working group. A stated aim of this working group is to hold negotiations with Stans to reach an out-of-court settlement with the Company. The Arbitration Court of the Moscow Chamber of Commerce and Industry should release a detailed plan for the next scheduled hearings in the coming week.
