Resignation of Director and Executive Officer
On May 16, 2017, Carl Ager resigned as a director of Searchlight Minerals Corp. (the “Company”), effective immediately. Mr. Ager also alleged that he was terminated as Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer without cause by the Company as a result of the Company’s failure to pay his salary, which he believes constitutes a material breach of his employment agreement. The Company disputes this allegation. Further, Mr. Ager has informed the Company that his resignation as a director was due to material disagreements with the management of the Company.
