HREEF Stans Energy Corp (CE)

Stans Energy Corp. (TSX-V: HRE, OTCQX: HREEF), (“Stans” or the “Company”) announces that in light of recent developments within Kyrgyzstan it has commenced an operational review to streamline work functions in the Company’s local subsidiaries.

As part of the streamlining process certain responsibilities within executive management at the Company’s subsidiaries will change. Mr. Gennady Savchenko who is currently Director General of Stans Energy KG and Kutisai Mining will now become Vice President of Kyrgyz Operations and retain the title of Director General, Stans Energy KG. Mr. Savchenko will continue to report to COO Boris Aryev.

Mr. Uzak Sultanidinov has been chosen to fill the role of Director General of Kutisai Mining. Mr. Sultanidinov is a former assistant to a Deputy Prime Minister, and a former parliamentary assistant. He has also served as an Expert in the Kyrgyz Financial Market Control and Regulation Service, Department of Securities Market Monitoring and Investor Rights Protection. Mr. Sultanidinov is a graduate of the Kyrgyz National University majoring in economics and production management.

These changes have been enacted to segregate the Company’s subsidiaries along business functions. Furthermore a comprehensive review is commencing to evaluate the required staffing levels in each of the Company’s subsidiaries in light of persistent obstruction of operations by Kyrgyz Authorities.

In comments made on August 8, 2014, Prime Minister J.Otorbaev stated that “we have an arbitration ongoing in the Moscow International Arbitration Court (the “Tribunal”) and that the Kyrgyz Government does not recognize this court, and furthermore that the Stans has not complied with its licencing requirements.”

Certain factual inaccuracies in his comments are noted below:

1. As of the date of Prime Minister’s interview there was no case ongoing at the Tribunal. The Tribunal ruled on the April 30, 2014, and rendered a written decision on June 30, 2014. According to Article 56 of the Arbitration Rules of the Tribunal: “the award of the Tribunal shall enter into force on the date of the ruling. The award of the Tribunal shall be final and binding on the parties and is not subject to appeal.”
2. All Kyrgyz Government challenges of the Tribunal jurisdiction to date have failed but they continue to fight the ruling to the last possible venue.
3. Stans has complied with all terms of the Licensing Agreement #3. All reports and project documentation were delivered to the State Geological Agency in a timely manner.
4. As part of the ongoing negotiations, Stans’ initial proposal addressed to First Vice Premier T.Sarpashev was responded to by low level officials with no decision making powers.

These latest statements by Mr. Otorbaev clearly demonstrate the hostile attitude of Kyrgyz Government toward the Company and its lack of intention to seek an amicable solution at this time. While members of the Kyrgyz government continue to wage a media campaign to discredit the Company, Stans’ legal teams are working towards finalizing submission documents for award enforcement and collection.
