Item 8.01 Other Events
Our subsidiary, Armadillo Mining Corporation, owns a 100% interest in Armadillo Mining Corporation Colombia S.A.S. ( “AMCC”). AMCC owns 50% of the common shares of Hunza Coal S.A.S, ( “Hunza Coal” ) which in turn owns four concessions in Colombia for the development of metallurgical coal. The mining permits for three of these concessions have been issued by the Colombia mining authority and the environmental permits have been issued by the provincial environmental authority, Corpoboyaca. On February 20th, 2013, the Governor of Boyacá, Colombia filed a petition “Accion Popular” against Corpoboyaca, requesting the tribunal to revoke or suspend the environmental licences of Hunza Coal.
On May 10, 2013, the Company was notified that the Tribunal issued an order to provisionally suspend the environmental licenses of the three concessions. Hunza Coal filed its appeal of the decision on May 10, 2013.
