British Columbia lithium junior fined for misleading advertising

The company had hired Stock Social Inc. to write an advertorial that was published and posted on newswires, and on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, investFeed and iHub, according to the BCSC.

“The advertorial was written to look and read like objective journalistic content, but did not disclose that it was issued on behalf of Bearing, nor did any of the social media posts make such disclosures,” the BCSC says in a press release.

That is a violation of the Securities Act, which requires anyone engaged in investor relations on behalf of a publicly traded company “to clearly and conspicuously disclose when promotional materials are issued by them or on their behalf.”

Bearing admitted it had violated the Securities Act by failing to disclose promotional materials had been issued on Bearing’s behalf. Former Bearing CEO Jeremy Arthur William Poirier admitted his involvement in the misleading promotion.

In a settlement with the BCSC, Bearing agreed to pay C$25,000 in fines. Poirier was ordered to pay a C$10,000 fine.

Bearing owns a 17% stake in the Maricunga project in Chile, a lithium brine salar. Australia’s Lithium Power International owns 51%. At the end of June, Lithium Power and Bearing announced an agreement in which Lithium Power will acquire 100% of the Maricunga project from Bearing and MSB SpA, a Chilean company that owns 31% of the project.
