African Queen´s JV Partner Abba Mining Wins Interim Order in Kenya´s High Court Today Against Adverse License Claimant
February 24, 2011 - Vancouver, British Columbia — AFRICAN QUEEN MINES LTD. (the “Company”) announces that the High Court of Kenya in Kisumu has issued a formal order today prohibiting any activities by B & M Mining Company (“B & M”) and its affiliates on B & M’s disputed license covering 15 sq. km in the Kamwango area which is also covered by Abba Mining Company’s Special License no, 287 granted January 22, 2010, which covers an aggregate of 112 sq. km. (Please see the Company’s Press Release dated February 14, 2011.) The order is in effect pending formal adjudication of the dispute, which is scheduled to commence on March 3, 2011.
