![New Age Metals Inc. Provides Clarification on Fundamental Analyst Report](https://www.goldseiten.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
On April 25 2018, Investment Institute Regulatory Organization of Canada ("IIROC") alerted NAM that the Analyst Report and disclosure contained in the press release did not comply with the requirements of National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects or National instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations. Specifically, the Fundamental Research Report included the following "Disclaimer":
"Any "forward looking statements" are FRC's best estimates and opinions based upon information that is publicly available and that analysts believe to be correct, but have not independently verified with respect to truth or correctness. Although the Company has paid a fee to FRC to subsidize the high costs of research and monitoring, the Company is not responsible for the content, accuracy or timelines contained in an analyst's report and the fee was not dependent on the opinion provided. In addition, readers should be aware, and are cautioned, that opinions, estimates, or forecasts contained in research analyst reports are not subject to the requirements of Canadian National Instrument 43-101 "Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects" ("NI 43-101") and have not received any endorsement or approval by New Age Metals. As such, New Age Metals does not imply or in any way represent that any of the reports, opinions, estimates, or forecasts regarding New Age Metals made by research analysts complies with NI 43-101 or represent the opinions or beliefs of New Age Metals or its management or representatives."
The above statements are materially misleading as Fundamental Research was contracted by and compensated for "coverage" of the Company and disclosure contained within Fundamental Research Report is required to comply with NI 43-101. Specifically (i) NI 43-101, 3.1 requires all written disclosure of scientific or technical information to prepared by or the preparation supervised by or approved by a qualified person; (ii) NI 43-101, 3.2 requires all written disclosure to include data verification; (iii) NI 51-102, Part 4B requires all disclosure of FOFI or financial outlooks for Company's subject to requirements of NI 43-101, to comply with those requirements, including requiring all FOFI or financial outlooks be supported by a preliminary economic assessment, pre-feasibility study or feasibility study. The above requirements were not met and the Company is retracting all disclosure relating to Fundamental Research Report including but not limited to the "Fair Value" price forecast; "BUY" recommendation; and "Disclaimer" content.
