Vancouver promoter Aly B. Mawji, 32, has been detained in Europe on an undisclosed matter, according his former company, Golden Touch Resources Corp. The company issued a news release on Tuesday stating that Mr. Mawji had resigned as president and chief executive officer, and was detained on matters that "to the best of the company's knowledge, information and belief are completely unrelated to any of Golden Touch's business or affairs."

The company did not say why Mr. Mawji was detained, or even where. Two Golden Touch directors, Anthony Jackson and David Schmidt, did not return phone calls seeking comment. According to the company's secretary, nobody there knows anything more about the detention.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was unable to confirm Mr. Mawji's detention as well. A representative said even if she did find out the nature of Mr. Mawji's trouble, privacy rules would prevent her from releasing that information. She could only say that there was no indication he had sought assistance from consular officials.
