QUEBEC CITY - May 27, 2015 -
Clifton Star Resources Inc. ("Clifton Star" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CFO) (FRANKFURT:C3T) today is pleased to announce that it has received written notification from shareholders Harry Miller and Nick Segounis, who had earlier requisitioned a meeting of Clifton Star's shareholders, indicating that their requisition has been withdrawn. As a result of the withdrawal of the requisition, the meeting has been cancelled.
Clifton Star wishes to thank all shareholders for their overwhelming and conclusive support of management, the board, and the current long-term plan. There was overwhelming opposition to this unnecessary and costly meeting, and strong support for the board's recent initiatives, including the addition of Agnico Eagle Mines and Yamana Gold Inc. as new shareholders and adding C$5.7 million to the treasury. It is clear that Mr. Miller heard from our shareholders, concluded he had very limited support, and decided to bow out.
While it is unfortunate that Clifton Star was forced to spend time and money on this unnecessary and now cancelled meeting, as fellow shareholders, the board wants to assure all shareholders it has remained steadfast in its commitment to execute on its business plan and create long-term value.
Clifton Star hopes that Mr. Miller will do the right thing for all shareholders and now conclusively abandon his ill-fated, persistent attempts to distract management and the board from executing on their long-term strategic plan to create value.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulations Services Provider (as the term is defined in policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
