U.S. TREASURY DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCES EASING OF U.S. SANCTIONS AGAINST THE REPUBLIC OF THE SUDAN
Orca Gold Inc. has provided an update. On Jan. 13, 2017, President Obama signed an executive order "recognizing positive actions by the government of Sudan and providing for the revocation of certain Sudan-related sanctions."
The full text of the release from the U.S. Treasury Department can be found via a link on the company's website. Under the order, which will come into effect on July 12, 2017, U.S. persons will be able to transact business with individuals and entities in Sudan, and property of the government of Sudan subject to U.S. jurisdiction will be unblocked.
"This announcement by the U.S. government is a huge step for Sudan on its path towards political and economic reintegration with the West. The government of the Sudan is to be congratulated for its efforts in working towards international acceptance and social and economic improvement for its people. We at Orca are pleased and excited to be part of that program of improvement," Orca's chief executive officer and director, Richard Clark, commented. "This move by the United States significantly changes the financial landscape for the development of our 2.2-million-ounce gold project at block 14. We look forward to introducing our company to investors that up to this point have been restricted in investing in Orca and Sudan."
