Montreal - Tuesday, April 30, 2013 – Caldera Resources Inc. (the “Company”) reports that it is unable to file its audited financial statements and associated reports for the year ending December 31, 2012. The Company continues to face severe financial hardship but continues its restructuring effort and is working towards ending its ongoing litigation with Global Gold Corp (“GBGD”)
Caldera and its Auditor, Brat Fremeth Star, have mutually agreed to terminate their relationship due to the Company’s inability to maintain their services. The Company will be securing a new auditor when it’s restructuring is complete. The Company also received and accepted the resignation of two of its directors and its CFO. It is anticipated that the Company will be subject to a cease-trade order due to these circumstances and possible de-listing.
While the parent company continues to restructure it has decided to create a wholly owned subsidiary to conduct its business. The new company provisionally to be named Armenian Mineral Opportunities (“AMO”) will be incorporated in an off-shore jurisdiction.
Following the formation of the subsidiary, the company will transfer its exploration data related to the Marjan gold and silver project in Armenia along with other data related to mineral projects in Armenia, in exchange for 100% of the shares. AMO will have the ability to finance its own operations and to pursue projects in the Republic of Armenia. The foregoing transactions may be subject to corporate and securities regulatory approvals.
The Company believes this move will provide current Caldera shareholders the opportunity to acquire direct ownership of projects in Armenia.

US District Court Ruling Rejects Caldera’s Motion to Overturn Arbitration Award
symbol: CDR.H
shares: 59,333,333
Montreal
- Wednesday, April 17, 2013 – Earlier today legal counsel for Caldera
received a ruling from the US District Court rejecting Caldera’s Motion to Vacate the Partial Final Award of March 29, 2012,
issued in favour to Global Gold Corporation (“GBGD”).
Justice Kenneth Karas ruling stated:
“…the Court grants the Petition (Dkt.
No. 1) in large part and confirms the substance of the arbitration order as
well as Paragraph 1 under the heading "Award." To the extent the
Petition seeks confirmation of Paragraphs 2 and 3 of the "Award"
section of the March 29 Order, that request is denied without prejudice to
renewal when the award on damages is sufficiently final and definite.”
A full copy of the US District Court Ruling can
be accessed on our web site at http://www.calderaresources.com/p/arbitration.html
The Arbitration hearing and the US District
Court both confirm the JVA between Caldera and GBGD were not effective and the
project reverts to GBGD, as per paragraph 1 of the Partial Final Award.
Paragraph 2 and 3 must still be settled and
Caldera is claiming an NSR on the project and the return of US $272,427.02, representing funds it paid
to GBGD. Global Gold Corp confirms that it owes Caldera $150,000 as per its annual
financial statements, 10K filing for the period ending December 31, 2012, and
has included the amount of $150,000 in their accounts payable.

page F-37)
Considering the US District Court and the
Arbitration Hearing both regard the December 18, 2009 agreement as separate to
the JVA and therefore by virtue of the rulings we believe that it is still
effective and GBGD must enter in to a JVA for the Marjan Project. Caldera will
continue to maintain its right to the Marjan Project as per the December 18,
2009 letter agreement, which a copy can be accessed at
On another note the President of Caldera
Resources, Mr. Bill Mavridis has filed complaints under the Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act with the U.S. Department of Justice, Criminal Division, Fraud
Section, FCPA Coordinator, against GBGD
and Mr. Van Krikorian for corruption in Armenia. In 2010 GBGD used its influence and access to a corrupt government employee, Mr. Koryoun
Hagobyan, the Head of the Concessions Department of the Ministry of Energy and
Natural Resources (MENR) to secure a termination notice on the project through
corrupt means. A blog entry by Bill Mavridis on this matter can be viewed at http://extortion-in-armenia.blogspot.ca/2012/07/part-1-is-gbgd-corrupting-force-in.html
(Who is Mr. KORYOUN HAGOBYAN). Mr. Hagobyan appears to be an undisclosed shareholder
of RAKE LLC, a mineral services firm. RAKE was established in the winter of
2005 and became GBGD’s
first and largest client in 2006, receiving millions of dollars of fees from GBGD.
Other apparent corrupt activity committed by GBGD
were discovered during the Arbitration hearing, where Caldera discovered that
the Marjan Mining License was issued illegally. More information can be found
posted on the President’s Log at
http://www.calderaresources.com/p/the-presidents-log.html
for April 3, 2013 (Did GBGD Get the Original Mining License through Corruption?),
and December 3, 2012 (Armenian Politician Claims Marjan License is Illegal)
