Crew to Vigorously Defend PMC Claim
LONDON, United Kingdom: Crew Gold Corporation ("Crew", the "Company") (TSX, OSE:
CRU) today announces that Piscedda Mining Corporation ("PMC") has served Crew
with a statement of claim in the Yukon Territory, Canada, alleging damages for
$127 million relating to Crew's assumption of the mining operations from PMC at
its Guinean subsidiary, Societe Miniere de Dinguiraye, in 2008. Crew
believes the claim is frivolous, vexatious and entirely without merit and will
defend it vigorously.
