Callinex Comments Regarding Recent Trading Activity



Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Callinex Mines Inc. (the “Company” or “Callinex”) has been made aware of and has been requested by the OTC Markets Group Inc. to comment on recent trading and promotional activity related to the Company's common shares.

 

On or about January 19, 2018, the OTC Markets Group Inc. made the Company aware that certain independent third party articles, who were not engaged by the Company, were published which advocated purchasing shares of the Company on or about January 17, 2018 (the “Third Party Articles”).  Additionally, on January 28, 2018 an independent third party, who was not engaged by the Company, advocated their subscribers close their position in the Company (the “Third Party Writer”) as part of a portfolio re-allocation. The Company does not believe the Third Party Articles increased interest and trading activity while the Company does believe the Third Party Writer had an impact on the Company’s trading activity.

 

In particular, the Company recently issued news releases that disclosed successful drill results that expanded the known extent of mineralization at its flagship project. These results were highlighted by intersections of 9.0 meters of 10.3% zinc and 0.7% lead on January 18, 2018, 53.8 meters of 2.4% zinc and 0.4% lead on January 22, 2018 and 13.0 meters of 3.9% zinc and 1.1% lead on January 29, 2018. These results are significantly higher than the average grade of the deposit and despite the Third Party Writer the Company’s shares are up 11% since January 17, 2018 and approximately 26% year-to-date as zinc prices have increased by 5% since January 17, 2018 and approximately 9% year-to-date to mark a fresh 10-year high.

 

Furthermore, Company inquired and confirmed that its management, directors, officers, control persons and third party service provides of the Company did not engage, directly or indirectly the authors of the Third Party Articles to create or distribute the Third Party Articles. Additionally, the Company has inquired and determined that officers, directors and, to the best of its knowledge, its controlling shareholders have not sold or purchased the company's securities within the past 90 days.

 

In accordance with TSX Venture Exchange policies, the Company has not issued shares or convertible instruments allowing conversion to equity securities at prices constituting a discount to the current market rate at the time of the issuance.

 

The Third Party Articles brought to the Company's attention by OTC Markets contain promotional language, including recommendations and views that are the opinion of the authors. Although the promotional materials reviewed by the Company management do not appear to be materially false or misleading, they contain promotional language and are not endorsed by the Company or its management. Investors should not place undue reliance on information contained in these materials. The Company does not provide future share price guidance or endorse target guidance. The Company encourages those interested in the Company to rely solely on information included in its press releases combined with its filings and disclosures made with OTC Markets and with Canadian securities authorities on SEDAR.

 

Since 2014, the Company has engaged Future Money Trends, LLC, Gold Standard Media, LLC, Portfolio Wealth Global, LLC and Wealth Research Group LLC (the “Engaged Parties”) to assist the Company in various marketing campaigns that have included interviews with management, written materials contain information from the Company’s public filings, creation of a website language page and distribution that included a link to the landing page (the “Services”).  Further, the Engaged Parties agreed to provide the Services to the Company throughout 2018.  The Engaged Parties prepared the materials used in the media campaign solely from the Company’s public filings and maintained editorial control over content.  The Services provided by the Engaged Parties assisted the Company in its goal to increase market awareness and, together with previously noted news releases, likely led to an increase in trading activity.  The Company’s review of the materials was limited to confirmation of factual matters only. The Engaged Parties confirmed to the Company that other than its own materials, they have not, directly or indirectly, paid any third party to create or distribute the Third Party Articles or any other promotional materials.  Other than the Engaged Parties, the Company has not engaged any third party investor relations firm. The Company also confirmed, after inquiry, that Engaged Parties have not sold or purchased Company's securities within the past 90 days.
