NWT Uranium Corp. Announces Cost Cutting Strategy
Company provides further corporate update on Change of Business status
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Nov 6, 2013) - NWT Uranium Corp. (the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:NWT) (FRANKFURT:NMV) today announced that is working to streamline operations, while implementing cost cutting measures designed to reduce operational costs by up to 50 per cent, including a reduction in salaries, while it works towards the proposed Change of Business. The Company is also focused on monetizing current investments and seeking new opportunities designed to maintain and increase shareholder value.
Furthermore, the Corporation is working closely with its legal counsel in Cyprus and tax professionals in attempts to further understand the recent measures taken by the Bank of Cyprus and to pursue all avenues available to the company.
"We are exploring all options to maintain and increase shareholder value as we continue the Change of Business process. These measures include a 50 per cent reduction in executive agreements and the lowering of operational expenses wherever possible," said NWT CEO David Subotic. "In addition to the cost-cutting measures we are implementing, we are also looking to monetize select assets in our portfolio while continuing to look for other opportunities to generate strong short- and medium-term returns for shareholders."
As disclosed in the Company's news release of August 29, 2013, the Company has contravened Exchange Policy 5.2 by proceeding with a Change of Business without the approval of the Exchange. Management of the Company continues to work with the Exchange to resolve their concerns. Until these concerns are addressed, the trading suspension will remain in place. The Company will issue further updates on the status of the Corporation's investments in Cyrpus and the proposed Change of Business from a mining issuer to an investment issuer as they occur.
