Kyrgyz Republic Moves to Set Aside Stans UNCITRAL Jurisdiction Ruling

Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) - Stans Energy Corp. (TSX-V: HRE, OTC: HREEF), ("Stans" or the "Company") announces that the Kyrgyz Republic (the “Republic”) has notified Stans that on February 22 it filed a claim with the High Court of Justice, Queen’s Bench Division, Commercial Court, London, England to set aside the jurisdictional award rendered by the UNCITRAL Tribunal (the “Tribunal”) in favor of Stans. This submission to the English Court is made pursuant to Section 67 of the Arbitration Act (1996).

No timetables have been set in these new proceedings. Stans will issue an update both on these set aside proceedings and on the merits proceedings in UNCITRAL arbitration as schedules will become available.

“Although it is not surprising that the Republic continues to obstruct and hamper the timely proceedings of Stans’ case for the expropriation of Kutessay II deposit mining license, management together with our legal team remains vigilant in pursuing a final award from the UNCITRAL Tribunal,” states Rodney Irwin, CEO and President, Stans Energy Corp.

Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
