TORONTO, CANADA, July 11, 2013 – Crown Gold Corporation (“Crown” or the “Company”) (TSX Venture: CWM) reports that it has decided not to proceed with the proposed acquisition of Pasofino Gold Corporation (“Pasofino”) which was announced on September 17, 2012. (See Crown’s news releases dated September 17, 2012 and October 10, 2012).
Stephen Dunn, CEO of Crown, said “We are disappointed that we were not able to complete this transaction, but the changing legal and regulatory framework in Colombia has made it difficult to complete the due diligence we required to proceed with the merger. It appeared to Crown that there was little likelihood of resolution of these matters before substantial property payments became due in the near future.”
