Starcore Status with the SEC


Vancouver, B.C. – Starcore International Mines Ltd. (TSX:SAM) (the “Company” or “Starcore”) reports that, on August 12, 2016, it filed a registration statement on Form 20-F with the United States Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the purpose of registering its common shares under section 12(g) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The registration statement remains subject to review by SEC Staff and is not expected to become effective until the later of October 11, 2016 (being the 60th day following the filing date of the registration statement) and the completion of such review.

As reported in the Company’s news release of February 5, 2016, the SEC has issued an order revoking the registration of the Company’s common shares under section 12(j) of the Exchange Act. As a result, broker-dealers in the United States are currently unable to effect transactions in the Company’s common shares. Broker‐dealers in the United States should be able to resume effecting transactions in the Company’s common shares once the registration statement becomes effective. In the meantime, the Company’s common shares continue to trade publicly on the TSX under the symbol “SAM”.

“The Company has worked diligently to file a new Form 20-F registration statement with the view to facilitating the resumption of trading in the Company’s common shares by United States broker-dealers,” said Robert Eadie, President and CEO of Starcore. “We are thankful to our U.S. shareholders for their patience.”
