CAU Canyon Resources Corp

GOLDEN, Colo., Feb. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Canyon Resources Corporation (AMEX:CAU), a Colorado-based mining company, is pleased to announce the dismissal of a March 2004 lawsuit citing Clean Water Act violations in the case of the Montana Environmental Information Center, Inc. and Earthworks/Mineral Policy Center Inc., the Plaintiffs, vs. Canyon Resources Corporation and C.R. Kendall Corporation. Following a motion to dismiss by the Plaintiffs, the suit was dismissed without prejudice by Judge Charles C. Lovell, Senior United States District Judge for the United States District of Montana, Helena Division. "We are pleased to see this case formally dismissed. We have always believed that this suit was without merit. Unfortunately, at the end of the day, the only thing that the Plaintiffs accomplished in this suit was to force the Company to spend valuable funds on legal fees to defend itself versus spending those funds on productive activities such as reclamation and closure activities at the Kendall site," states James Hesketh, President & CEO.
