Stans Energy : Receives Jurisdiction Dispute Court Date

As Stans Energy Corp. (TSX-V: HRE, OTC: HREEF), ('Stans' or the 'Company') reported on March 16, 2017, the Kyrgyz Republic (the 'Republic') has applied to the High Court of Justice, Queen's Bench Division of the Commercial Court, London, England (the 'Court') to set aside the jurisdictional ruling of the Tribunal in favour of Stans.

A date for hearings before the Court has been set for July 24 - 25, 2017. A decision is expected by Q4 2017.

'We firmly believe that the result of this hearing will end attempts by the Republic to set aside the positive jurisdictional ruling by the Tribunal and frustrate arbitration proceedings. We are comfortable that the Tribunal's Award is valid and will withstand the challenge before the English courts. We look forward to moving beyond this challenge toward the April 2018 hearings on the merits of our US$210 million arbitration claim,' states Mr. Rodney Irwin, CEO and President.

Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
