AM Gold Provides Update on Rokmaster Default



November 13, 2014

AM GOLD INC. (TSX-V: AMG; Frankfurt: AMX) ("AM Gold" or the "Company") announces that on advice of legal counsel its nominee on the board of directors of Rokmaster Resources Corp. ("Rokmaster") resigned from Rokmaster on November 12, 2014. Subsequent to AM Gold's director nominee resigning from Rokmaster, Rokmaster notified AM Gold, and AM Gold's Peruvian subsidiary, of Rokmaster's initiation of the process to arbitrate (the "Arbitration") with respect to AM Gold's challenge of the validity of Rokmaster's declaration of force majeure (the "Force Majeure") along with AM Gold's subsequent notice of default to Rokmaster (the "Notice of Default").

The legal defects in Rokmaster's declaration of Force Majeure along with AM Gold's subsequent issuance of the Notice of Default are well documented (see AM Gold's news releases dated September 23, 2014, September 25, 2014 and October 17, 2014). In sum, if Rokmaster believed that the Force Majeure was triggered, it should have declared a force majeure prior to the required option payment due date and if it had done so, AM Gold may have considered the assertion of force majeure in the context of the applicable option payment. In any event, even if a Force Majeure did exist, a failure to make a payment or incur expenditures due to lack of funds does not constitute a Force Majeure under the terms of the Option and Joint Agreement (the "Option and JV Agreement") dated effective July 16, 2012, as amended, among AM Gold, AM Gold's Peruvian subsidiary, and Rokmaster.

In AM Gold's view, the declaration of Force Majeure and the initiation of the Arbitration are flawed tactical threats intended to avoid obligations under the Option and JV Agreement by trying to coerce AM Gold into a business combination pursuant to terms dictated by Rokmaster that are unfavourable to AM Gold. AM Gold will not entertain a business combination on such terms.

With respect to the Arbitration, Rokmaster demanded the proceedings with respect to the Force Majeure and the Notice of Default but to AM Gold's knowledge Rokmaster has not actually commenced the arbitration by filing the applicable documents and submitting the applicable filing fee with the British Columbia International Commercial Arbitration Centre (the "BCICAC"). The Arbitration procedures are set out in the Option and JV and require:

  • The appointing authority will be the BCICAC;
  • The case will be administered by the British Columbia International Commercial Arbitration Centre in accordance with its "Procedures for Cases under the BCICAC Rules;
  • The place of arbitration will be Vancouver, British Columbia;
  • The number of arbitrators will be three;
  • The language used in the arbitral proceedings will be English;
  • The award of the arbitrator will be final and binding on the parties who will abide by the award; and
  • The arbitrators fees will be paid by both parties in equal parts during the course of the arbitration but upon final decision of the dispute, the defeated party will pay all costs and reimburse all arbitration costs, including the amounts paid by the prevailing party, subject to the contrary decision of the arbitrators.

If Rokmaster actually files the Arbitration with the BCICAC then AM Gold expects to defend the same and to hold Rokmaster accountable for the significant costs of the Arbitration.

Rokmaster had until October 24, 2014, to cure the defaults under the Option and JV Agreement, or to enter into alternative arrangements that are acceptable to AM Gold. To date Rokmaster has not cured the defaults nor has it suggested alternative arrangement that are acceptable to AM Gold. AM Gold is considering which of the rights available to it shall be exercised including but not limited to, terminating the Option and JV Agreement.

AM Gold will issue a further news release when updates on this matter are available.
