Levon Clarifies Technical Disclosure Related to Its Congress Property
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 05/05/11 -- Levon Resources Ltd. ('Levon' or the 'Company') (TSX VENTURE: LVN)(BERLIN: LO9)(FRANKFURT: LO9) is issuing the following news release to clarify its technical disclosure regarding the Congress property as a result of a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission.
Presently, the Company's only material property is the Cordero-Sanson Property ('Cordero') 37 km northeast of the town of Hidalgo Del Parral, in the state of Chihuahua in north central Mexico. The Company acquired a 51% interest in Cordero pursuant to an agreement it entered into with Valley High Ventures Ltd. ('VHV') in February, 2009, and acquired the remaining 49% of Cordero which it did not own through the acquisition of VHV in March, 2011.
Prior to the Company's acquisition of its interest in Cordero, the Company's sole material property was the Congress property, located near Carpenter Lake, British Columbia ('Congress'). Congress was the subject of a technical report prepared in November 2005, as filed on SEDAR (the 'Congress Technical Report'), which classified and restated historical resource estimates as current resources estimates in a manner not in compliance with the requirements of National Instrument 43-101.
This non-compliant disclosure regarding the Congress property was subsequently replicated in certain of the Company's continuous disclosure documents, including (a) the Company's annual information form for the year ended March 31, 2010 (the 'AIF'); (b) certain news releases of the Company (including those dated November 23, 2005 and October 10, 2006) and (c) in disclosure contained on the Company's website (including investor materials disclosing a current resource estimate of 194,000 ounces of gold).
The currently available information on the Congress property is inadequate to support the disclosure of mineral resources, and any prior disclosure made by the Company indicating otherwise should be disregarded and should not be relied upon.
The Company formally retracts all disclosure of any current resource estimates on the Congress property, has removed all such disclosure from its website, and will refile on SEDAR its annual information form for the year ended March 31, 2010 to reflect the retraction of such non-compliant disclosure.
The Company has no plans to carry out additional exploration programs on the Congress property at this time.
Vic Chevillon, MA, CPG, Vice President of Exploration for Levon, is a qualified person within the context of National Instrument 43-101 and has read and takes responsibility for this news release.
