announced that its bid was not recommended by the Special Master under the U.S. District Court for the District

the Special Master’s recommendation can be found at www.goldreserve.bm/special-masters-recommendation.
Parties in interest have an opportunity to object to the Special Master’s recommendation, and a Court hearing
will be subsequently held for the Court to consider approval (if any) of the selection of a “Stalking Horse.”
