Supreme Court of British Columbia

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 18, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Carmax Mining Corp. (“Carmax”)

oral judgment that the Petitioner ’s challenge of the Gold Commissioner ’s decision to reinstate Carmax ’s

claim #1034634 be dismissed. In his findings he found that there was no lack of procedural fairness,

transparency or rigour in the decision of the Gold Commissioner, as alleged by the Petitioner ’s and as such

the judge saw no conflict between the Commissioner ’s interpretation of his authority under the Mineral

Tenure Act and prior case law.

Carmax issued on April 22, 2016 and July 19, 2016.

The Petitioners have 30 days within which to file a Notice of Appeal should they feel an appeal of the

decision is warranted.
