El Capitan Precious Metals Reports Breach of Contract by Buyer of Concentrates
El Capitan Precious Metals, Inc. (OTCQB: ECPN) reported today that the Company was informed on March 30, 2018, that the
contracted buyer to purchase and process the concentrates from El Capitan Precious Metals had decided not to process the material,
and instead is offering to ship the material back to El Capitan Precious Metals.
This information was relayed by legal counsel for the purchaser in response to inquiries by the Company regarding the timely
payment for the recovered metal that El Capitan Precious Metals had been informed had been successfully recovered from the
concentrate material over the 60 days prior to the contracted payment date.
El Capitan Precious Metals is investigating the matter, and will take all necessary and proper steps to pursue civil and
criminal litigation of the matter, if appropriate upon further investigation, once the material is returned.
The Company will provide more details at the 2018 Shareholder Meeting scheduled for Wednesday, May 23, in Scottsdale, Arizona.
It will be held at the Gainey Ranch Golf Club and is scheduled to begin at 10:00 a.m. local time. The meeting agenda will include
detailed updates on operations and revenue generation.
