EAST ASIA MINERALS SERVES LIBEL NOTICE ON NORTHERN MINER
East Asia Minerals Corp. delivered a legal notice today to the Northern Miner newspaper over a recent article which made defamatory and misleading accusations concerning the company's disclosures about Indonesian property currently under exploration.
In a statement released today, chief executive officer and president Michael Hawkins said: "We are extremely disappointed that the Northern Miner published misleading information about our disclosure practices in a prominent article on its website about protected forest in Indonesia. We have asked the newspaper to do the right thing, retract its erroneous accusation that we failed to tell shareholders about the status of the property, and acknowledge that East Asia Minerals made timely and complete disclosure starting nearly three years ago."
In a letter sent to the Northern Miner, the company expressly reserves the right to file a libel lawsuit to recover damages from the Northern Miner for injury to reputation and financial loss.
We seek Safe Harbor.
