VMS Announces Filing of Statement of Claim in Manitoba
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 04/27/12 -- VMS Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE: VMS) ("VMS" or "the Company") announces that a statement of claim has been filed against the Company in Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench by W. Bruce Dunlop Limited (N.P.L.) ("Dunlop"), the vendor of certain of the claims comprising the Reed Lake Joint Venture, pursuant to an agreement signed by both parties on December 2, 2008 (the "Dunlop Agreement").
The claim seeks to compel the Directors of the Company to give up VMS' 30 per cent participating, carried to production, interest and to elect to become a non-participating party to the Reed Lake Joint Venture in order to trigger certain alleged royalty entitlements, largely benefiting Dunlop at the expense of all other VMS shareholders.
The Company views this claim to be completely without merit and acquiescing to the Dunlop demand to be not in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. The Board of Directors has instructed VMS' Manitoba litigation counsel to vigorously defend same.
