U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals Affirms Previously Announced District Court Order Granted to Gold Reserve and Others

Gold Reserve Inc. (TSX.V:GRZ) (OTCQX:GDRZF) (Gold Reserve or the Company) announces that on July 7, 2023 the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (the Third Circuit) issued a judgment affirming the orders of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the Delaware Court) issued on March 23, 2023 and March 31, 2023 (see Gold Reserve’s press releases dated April 4, 2023 and May 3, 2023).

Rockne J. Timm, CEO stated, “The ruling by the Third Circuit is welcome but, at the same time, and subject to applicable sanctions laws in the U.S. and Canada, we are open to resolving amicably all of our pending issues with Venezuela. This includes, but is not limited to, our U.S. $996 million judgment (inclusive of interest) that is the subject of the Company’s litigation in Delaware, but also the recovery of our Bandes Trust funds and the more recent expropriation of the Siembra Minera mining rights.”

(“PDVSA”) has opposed the inclusion of any additional judgements in the existing sales process and may appeal the Third Circuit’s decision upholding the orders of the District Court, including the potential time and cost associated with such appeal and whether PDVSA will be successful in any such appeal, that the Company will be granted an order from the Delaware Court such that the Company can formally participate in any sales process of the PDVH shares, the timing set for various reports will not be met, the ability to otherwise participate in the potential sales process in connection with the PDVH shares (and related costs associated therewith), the amount, if any, of proceeds associated therewith; the competing claims of certain creditors, the Other Creditors (as detailed in the applicable court documents filed with the Delaware Court) of Venezuela and the Company, including any priority afforded thereto, and the proceeds from the sale of the PDVH shares may not be sufficient to satisfy the amounts outstanding under the September 2014 arbitral award and/or corresponding November 15, 2015 U.S. judgement in full.
