Trading Symbol: TSX-V: IG
CALGARY, Aug. 30 /CNW/ - Infinito Gold Ltd. (the "Company") announces that on August 30, 2010 Exploram Enterprises Ltd. ("Exploram") and Auro Investments Ltd. ("Auro", and together with Exploram, the "Noteholders") who in turn hold the outstanding $50.5 million Secured Convertible Notes (the "Notes") of the Company granted a waiver of a termination event (the "Waiver") under the Standstill Agreement executed on June 30, 2010 between the Company and the Noteholders.
Specifically, the Noteholders granted the Company a waiver to September 30, 2010 with respect to the proceedings related to the Tribunal Contencioso Adminastrativo (the "Tribunal") which otherwise would have been a Termination Event on August 31, 2010 under the Standstill Agreement.
In conjunction with executing the Waiver, the Company also announces that it has publicly filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) it's Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for the three month period ended June 30, 2010.
Furthermore, on July 27, 2010 the Government of Costa Rica published a letter affirming a variety of points, including: its intent to respect the results of the current legal process; that the Company has met and in all cases exceeded its health, safety and environmental obligations under the existing mine plan; discounting the impact of cyanide contamination; acknowledging the thoroughness of the work conducted by the Constitutional Court of Costa Rica; acknowledging the right of the Company to claim for compensation in the event the project was halted by the government; and reaffirming the government's intent to modify the mining laws to exclude all future open pit metal mining projects.
The Company interprets the release of this document as a positive step, and management is using all available avenues to press its case with the Tribunal and the Costa Rican government in order to expedite the resolution of these matters. The Company has been notified that a Tribunal hearing date has been set for Tuesday, September 14, 2010.
