Frontera Resources releases a statement where it calls on Georgian Government to stop a disinformation campaign.

“On July 23, the Government of Georgia continued a public disinformation campaign regarding its contract with our company and the results of the recent arbitration action that the Government initiated against us in 2018. We call on the Prime Minister and the Government to please stop this intentionally deceptive, damaging and disingenuous practice and, instead, engage honestly with the public and directly with our company to advance a true spirit of substantive partnership.

On Thursday, after years of commercially debilitating threats and harassment to the contrary, officials suddenly announced in the media that “the Government had decided not to cancel our contract”. This announcement was wrapped in a litany of slanderous statements that served only to defame the character of our company and advance false statements about our work. We wish to once again be clear that no legal basis has ever existed for the unilateral cancellation of our contract.

Georgia’s Government continued insinuation to the contrary is wrong and amounts to intentional harassment. It is designed to mislead and give the impression of magnanimous benevolence when, in fact, it is the continuation of disingenuous behavior that is designed to artfully discourage continued private-sector foreign direct investment, like ours, from the U.S.”, - reads the statement.
