EDMONTON - The former Edmonton president and CEO of Liberty Mines Inc. will face allegations of illegal insider trading before the Alberta Securities Commission.
The securities regulator said Tuesday it has issued a notice of hearing alleging Richard Gary Nash sold 1.24 million Liberty Mines shares on Nov. 10, 2010 — following his departure from the company’s board of directors and senior management team and before public disclosure of that fundamental change.
The commission alleges Nash avoided a loss of more than $21,800 as a result.
An appearance to set a date for a hearing in Edmonton will be held Wednesday at the ASC’s Calgary office.
Liberty Mines is an Edmonton-based junior nickel producer.
