VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 01/17/14 -- Bralorne Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: BPM)(OTCQX: BPMSF)(BERLIN: GV7)(FRANKFURT: GV7) (WKN A0B75M) (the "Company") announces that further to its adjourned Annual General Meeting held on October 9, 2013, and after further review of the voting results, its 10% rolling stock option plan was not approved by the disinterested shareholders. As a result, the Board of Directors will need to immediately implement a fixed stock option plan for up to 2,849,000 shares, including previous stock option grants under the old plan.
In addition, the resolution to re-price the existing stock options granted to insiders was not made in accordance with the policies of the TSXV, so in result the re-pricing of the insiders' stock option was not acceptable to the TSXV. The Company must therefore return $36,600 being the proceeds of exercise for 122,000 shares to three optionees, and 122,000 shares issued to them will be returned for cancellation.
