SYNATOM EXECS QUIT POWERTECH BOARD
Leclere and Pauluis resign as Belgian company seeks to cut ties with struggling uranium company; Clement doesn't offer explanation
Posted October 25, 2010, Updated November 9, 2010
This is by far the shortest news release Dick Clement has issued since Powertech Uranium Corp. emerged four years ago. Clement fails to inform investors why Synatom executives Leclere and Pauluis resigned from the Powertech board of directors and avoids any mention of the fact that Synatom is trying to find someone to buy out its money-losing stake in the uranium company.
On July 29, 2008, Powertech issued a news release announcing the election of Leclere and Pauluis to the board, and the approval of stock warrants issued to Synatom. Clement used 348 words to gush over the new board members. The announcement of their resignation is a mere 46 words.
And 15 days after the new release was issued, it still hasn't shown up on Powertech's website. In contrast, news releases with "good" news are posted on the site immediately.
(By the way, when is Clement going to disclose the "more than a dozen" in-situ leach uranium mines allegedly permitted by Powertech personnel? This statement first showed up in the company's June 28, 2007 news release on the Centennial project. Powertech has yet to release this list of ISL mines.)
