EurOmax Applies to the British Columbia Supreme Court

TSX.V. EOX

Frankfurt. OMZ

VANCOUVER, Sept. 2 /CNW/ - EurOmax Resources Limited (TSXV: EOX) ("EurOmax" or, the "Company") announced that, further to its news release dated August 24, 2010 announcing the adjournment of its annual general meeting (the "Meeting"), the Company filed a petition (the "Petition") in the British Columbia Supreme Court on August 31, 2010 for directions as to the further conduct of the Meeting.

The principal grounds EurOmax/states in support of the Court order are:

    
    -   In soliciting votes from shareholders for the Meeting pursuant to
        proxy circulars (the "Dissident Proxy Circulars") issued by Messrs.
        Patriarco and Gustafson (the "Dissident Shareholders"), the Dissident
        Shareholders are materially misleading shareholders and also failed
        to disclose Mr. Patriarco's repeated breaches of the Securities Act
        (British Columbia). The principal misleading assertions in the
        Dissident Proxy Circulars are as follows:

        -  The Dissident Shareholders allege that EurOmax's current
           management are responsible for (a) the decrease in the stock price
           of EurOmax shares; and (b) the wasteful depletion of EurOmax's
           treasury. Both of these allegations are false and misleading. Mr.
           Patriarco directed the sale of high volumes of EurOmax shares,
           driving a decrease in the stock price, and therefore contributed
           to the decline in the stock price. This was not disclosed to
           shareholders. Further, Mr. Patriarco was a EurOmax director when
           the specified drilling expenditures were made and personally
           approved of these expenses expenditures which he criticized in
           order to solicit shareholder support and votes. Two independent
           corporate governance analysis companies, who have not been paid by
           EurOmax or any related party, found the Dissident's complaints to
           be unfounded.

        -  Mr. Patriarco failed to inform EurOmax's shareholders of material
           facts, with the result that shareholders were misled with respect
           to issues fundamental to a shareholders' investment in EurOmax.

           -  In connection with the acquisition of Silk Road Resources Ltd.
              ("Silk Road") by EurOmax by way of a plan of arrangement (the
              "Arrangement"), which was approved by the shareholders of
              EurOmax and Silk Road as required by applicable law and became
              effective June 29, 2009, each of EurOmax and Silk Road issued a
              management information circular dated May 26, 2009 (the
              "Information Circulars"). The Information Circulars disclosed
              incorrectly, based on Mr. Patriarco's actions, that following
              the Arrangement, Mr. Patriarco would beneficially own, directly
              or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over only
              16.12% of the EurOmax shares.

           -  The last insider reports filed by Mr. Patriarco prior to the
              Arrangement contained information that would lead shareholders
              to believe that Mr. Patriarco would hold a 15.34% interest in
              EurOmax following the Arrangement.

           -  An early warning report filed by or on behalf of Mr. Patriarco
              on July 9, 2009 (following the effective date of the
              Arrangement) indicated that following the Arrangement, Mr.
              Patriarco acquired a 15.34% interest in EurOmax shares or a
              17.19% interest if warrants held or controlled by Mr. Patriarco
              were exercised.

           -  Two insider reports were filed by or on behalf of Mr. Patriarco
              almost a year after the Arrangement, reporting prior
              undisclosed material acquisitions of EurOmax or Silk Road
              shares on or before the effective date of the Arrangement.

           -  Almost a year after the Arrangement, Mr. Patriarco filed a
              letter (the "Purported Amendment") with the British Columbia
              Securities Commission purporting to amend the July 9, 2009
              early warning report to disclose that following the conclusion
              of the Arrangement, Mr. Patriarco gained, directly or
              indirectly, approximately 21.58% of the issued and outstanding
              EurOmax shares on a diluted basis.

        -  Mr. Patriarco's shareholding is fundamentally material to
           shareholder decisions regarding investment in EurOmax and the
           future of the company. Under the Securities Act (British
           Columbia), a shareholder who holds more than 20% of an issuer can
           be a "control person". A control person, whose conduct can
           materially impair the position of other shareholders, is subject
           to critical legal restrictions:

           -  A control person cannot acquire shares of an issuer, such as
              EurOmax, if they would hold more than 20% of the shares, unless
              the acquisition is done by way of a formal takeover bid to all
              shareholders or pursuant to an exemption from the takeover bid
              requirements, which are intended to benefit all shareholders.

           -  A control person can only sell shares pursuant to a prospectus
              of the issuer, unless an exemption from the prospectus
              requirement is available.

           The shareholders of EurOmax and Silk Road were misled in that they
           were not made aware that Mr. Patriarco would become a "control
           person" of EurOmax upon completion of the Arrangement. Mr.
           Patriarco's acquisition of any further shares of EurOmax would
           constitute a takeover bid, which shareholders should benefit from
           via an offer to purchase their stock by Mr. Patriarco at a much
           higher price than the stock presently trades at. Mr. Patriarco
           continued to mislead the shareholders of EurOmax by failing to
           disclose this significant shareholding of EurOmax shares in the
           Dissident Proxy Circulars.

    -   Additionally, EurOmax claims that Mr. Matkaluk, a director candidate
        nominated by the Dissidents, engaged in vote solicitation activities
        in violation of the proxy solicitation rules, rules which exist to
        ensure that all shareholders are treated equally and fairly in
        advance of the AGM.

    -   EurOmax also claims that Mr. Menzies illegally solicited proxies from
        many EurOmax shareholders. Mr. Menzies provided information to
        selected EurOmax shareholders that was not included in the Dissident
        Proxy Circulars and therefore not provided to all EurOmax
        shareholders, in violation of the principal of full and open
        disclosure.

    -   The Petition seeks a Court order that (a) all proxies deposited for
        the annual general meeting of August 24, 2010 be declared null and
        void; (b) a new annual general meeting of EurOmax, be held within 60
        days of the Court order; (c) the Company's meeting materials,
        including the Notice of Meeting, Information Circular and form of
        proxy, be delivered to shareholders within 30 days of the Court
        order; (d) Anthony Patriarco, Mark Gustafson, John Nugent, Randal
        Matkaluk, Donald Siemens and John Menzies deliver a legally compliant
        dissident proxy circular, which fully discloses their shareholdings
        in the Company and is factually accurate and not misleading, within
        14 days of the delivery of the Company's meeting materials; (e) Mr.
        Patriarco be disallowed from voting any EurOmax shares that he owns
        or controls at the new annual general meeting; and (f) the record
        date for receiving notice of and voting at the new annual general
        meeting be the date of the Court order.
    

The Company will issue a further news release regarding the outcome of the application to the British Columbia Supreme Court and otherwise as developments warrant.
