Infinito Gold Ltd. Announces the Release of the Full Administrative Tribunal
Ruling on Crucitas
Trading Symbol: TSX-V: IG
CALGARY, Dec. 15 /CNW/ - Infinito Gold Ltd. (the "Company") announces that on December 14, 2010 the Tribunal Contencioso Administrativo (the "Administrative Tribunal") in Costa Rica verbally released the detailed ruling in support of the summary ruling rendered on November 24, 2010 with respect to the Crucitas exploitation concessions and various environmental and other necessary approvals.
The Company was advised that an official written copy of the ruling is not yet available. However, the Company has access to a recording of the entire court session where the ruling was verbally rendered, and is currently in the process of transcribing the recording. The transcription process is expected to be concluded by December 16, 2010, at which point the Company and its legal counsel will be able to review and assess the full detailed decision.
The Company and its local subsidiary, Industrias Infinito SA ("IISA"). continue to evaluate all legal options including submitting an appeal to the relevant chamber of the Supreme Court of Costa Rica (SALA I). The Company has been advised that any appeal must be filed by no later than January 18, 2010.
The decision rendered by the Administrative Tribunal appears to be in conflict with the decision reached by the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court of Costa Rica (SALA IV) in April of 2010 that confirmed the validity of IISA's exploitation concessions and various environmental and other necessary approvals.
