OTTAWA, Aug. 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cornerstone Capital Resources Inc. (“Cornerstone” or “the Company”) (TSXV:CGP) (OTC:CTNXF) (FWB:GWN1) announces the following correction to its news release 22-19 dated August 17, 2022 entitled “Newcrest withdraws from Option and Farm-in Agreement for the Miocene Project in Chile”:
Cornerstone reported: “As per the terms of our Agreement, Newcrest will wind down activities and leave the concessions in good standing for one year, while Cornerstone determines if we can attract another funding partner to reactivate the Project.”
In fact, while Newcrest has paid the Miocene concession fees through to the end of Q1 2023, it is not obligated to keep the concessions in good standing for one year from termination, as a result of which the disclosure should have read as follows: “Newcrest is planning to wind down activities while Cornerstone determines if we can attract another funding partner to reactivate the Project.”
