VANCOUVER, BC, May 4, 2023 /CNW/ - Euromax Resources Ltd (TSX: EOX) ("Euromax" or the "Company") announces that the Administrative Court (the "Court") has issued its decision in respect of the Company's appeal challenging the termination of the Ilovica 6 concession by the Government of the Republic of North Macedonia. The Court has upheld the Company's lawsuit and annulled the disputed decision to terminate the Ilovica 6 concession. The Court has returned the case to the respective authority to reconsider and redecide.
As part of this decision, the Court, having recognised that the merger of the Ilovica 6 and Ilovica 11 concessions ("Concessions Merger") represents a prior legal matter, rejected the Company's proposal that the Government be required to decide on the Concessions Merger, citing the matter being out of the Court's authority. Until a final approval for the Concessions Merger is concluded, the Company acknowledges that there is still material uncertainty related to intended development of the Ilovica-Shtuka Project.
Tim Morgan-Wynne, Executive Chairman, stated: "We are encouraged by the fact that the Administrative Court has restored the legal status of the Ilovica 6 concession. The Company looks forward to a constructive and forward looking engagement with the relevant stakeholders to take the next steps."
