News Release

Vancouver – An Alberta company that sold mine detection and military equipment and a Pitt Meadows man have been sanctioned by the British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) for breaching a 2002 cease trade order issued against the company.

A BCSC panel found that Military International Limited and Stewart Douglas Loughery, acting as a de facto director or officer of Military, breached that order between 2010 and 2011 by entering into loan agreements with six investors for total proceeds of $170,000. None of that money has been repaid.

The panel imposed a $50,000 administrative penalty on Loughery, and he is prohibited for at least six years from acting as a company director or officer, working as a registrant or promoter, serving in a management or consultative capacity in the securities market, or engaging in investor relations activities.

Military was ordered to pay $170,000 – representing the amount it obtained in breaching the cease trade order – plus an administrative penalty of $20,000. In addition, the 2002 cease trade order will continue for at least a further five years, and will not be lifted until the company’s penalties are paid.
