Reid FINED for NOT REMOVING WASTE material from TRII Site

On October 22, 2012, the previous owner of the property, 2023682 Ontario Inc., owned by Duncan Reid (CEO of the Company), was fined CDN$56,265 by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment under the Environmental Protection Act for failing to comply with a Court Order to remove specified waste materials from the mill site. Under the terms of the Order, 2023682 Ontario Inc. had until July 31, 2014 to pay the fines and to comply with the Court Order to remove the specified waste material and, in the interim, to ensure that there is no migration or discharge of these materials into the ground or water. The liabilities and obligations with respect to this fine are with 2023682 Ontario Inc. Nevertheless, the Company has obtained a contractual indemnity from 2023682 Ontario Inc. in respect of this matter and any related liabilities in the event that 2023682 Ontario Inc. does not duly satisfy its obligations and an agreement that 2023682 Ontario Inc. will hold harmless the Company for any fines, legal actions or penalties associated with this matter. In addition, the Company has an agreement with 2023682 Ontario Inc. pursuant to which 2023682 Ontario Inc. has undertaken to dispose, at its cost, of the material as required in the court order within the specified time. In the event that 2023682 Ontario Inc. defaults with respect to any of these obligations, the Company may be subject to liability and exposure, including the disposal of these materials, any interim discharge from these materials (which are not currently in a permitted tailings pond) and related fines. If our business is involved in one or more of these hazards, we may be subject to claims of a significant size that could force us to cease our operations. There has been a Notice of Garnishment served against Trio Resources, Inc. in the amounts of $45,874 CAD and $47,863 USD in respect of a claim against the Company’s CEO in his other business ventures. Currently, the motion is returnable in fiscal year 2014 and hence, the management cannot assess the likelihood of any outcome.
