TORONTO, CANADA--(Marketwire - June 14, 2010) - Luiri Gold Limited (TSX VENTURE:LGL)(ASX:LGM) has received a letter from the Director of Mines in Zambia that alleges that the Company is in default of provisions made in the granting of the mining license LM48 at the Luiri Hill Gold project. According to the Company's records and the legal opinion of our counsel in Zambia, the Company is in compliance with all provisions of the mining license. The Company is taking the matter up with the Department of Mines Development as a matter of priority. The Company has 60 days to show that it is not in default and this is currently being done.
The Company has recently been increasing its presence in Zambia as development activities on the project are increased. This has included the appointment of two prominent Zambian businessmen to the boards of the Luiri Gold Zambian subsidiaries.
The Company is working closely with the various government bodies to take the necessary steps to ensure the development of its assets in Zambia can proceed as planned.
