Toronto, Ontario CANADA, December 23, 2013 /FSC/ - California Gold Mining Inc. (CGM - TSX Venture), ("California Gold" or the "Company") and certain of its directors have been named as respondents in an application filed by Martin Shefsky ("Shefsky") and his holding company ("Holdco") in the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta, alleging, among other things, (a) the failure of the Company to constitute its board of directors with a majority of nominees of Shefsky at its April 4, 2013 meeting of shareholders, (b) misrepresentations made in the context of negotiating Holdco's services agreement, (c) breach of Holdco's services agreement, and (d) certain improper actions by the board of directors in connection with the private placement of units completed in September 2013.
