Kyrgyz Government Fails to Block Stans Damage Award in Russian Court

Stans Energy Corp. (TSX-V: HRE, OTCQX: HREEF), (“Stans” or the “Company”), reports that the Kyrgyz Republic filed a motion to the Moscow Arbitration Court (the “Court”) to block the Company’s recent judgment. The Kyrgyz Republic filed a motion to the Court to have the Judgment of the Arbitration Court at the Moscow Chamber of Commerce and Industry (the “Arbitration”) in the matter ?A-2013/29 dated June 30, 2014 2014 to be set aside.

At the same time, the Applicant (Kyrgyz Republic) filed the motion on adoption of interim measures in the form of:

1. Suspension of the recovery of Judgment of the Arbitration

2. Prohibit the Claimant (Stans) and other third parties, wherever they are, to take any action on the territory of the Russian Federation or any foreign State:

- on recognition and enforcement of the Judgment;

- on recovery of any sums under this Judgment;

- on arrest of any property of the Kyrgyz Republic;

- on adoption of any other interim measures in connection with the Judgment.

The Court ruled to refuse the Kyrgyz Republic motion.

Previously on September 23, 2014, the Economic Court of the CIS (the “CIS EC”), issued a decision No.01-1/1-14 “On Interpretation of Article 11 of the Moscow Convention for the Protection of Investor’s Rights dated March 28, 1997”. In essence the advisory opinion upholds the decision of the MCCI with regards to jurisdiction in the international arbitration between Stans and the Kyrgyz Republic.

Copies of the original Russian and English versions of the CIS EC interpretation are available on the Company’s website. Stans legal representative in Moscow, Prof. Zenkin has prepared a detailed explanation of the interpretation by the CIS EC.

It should be noted that neither of these proceedings have any legal binding on the full enforcement of the damage reward received by the Company. Stans continues to prepare for collection process against the Kyrgyz Republic.
