A West Vancouver resident was charged with insider trading last week following a multi- agency investigation into his conduct.

The charges laid against Matthew John Mason, of the 1900-block of Nelson Avenue, relate to events that occurred during his stint as a director of Arauco Resources Ltd., a British Columbian company whose shares were

at one time listed on the Vancouver Stock Exchange.

The alleged offence occurred between February and April 1996.

Both the B.C. Securities Commission and the RCMP’s commercial crime sec- tion were involved in Mason’s investiga- tion.

Since the alleged activities took place, Arauco has changed its name and moved its head office to Edmonton following a change in the company’s controlling interest.

“The company was essentially a shell and the entire board was changed,” said Kerry Knoll, director of investor rela-

ck trader charged @

tions at the renamed Kit Resources.

“There’s no connection whatsoever’ f with the present company.”

A shell company is one that is listed on an exchange but possesses few if any | assets.

Knoll confirmed he had been inter- viewed by police in relation to the Mason investigation shortly after the alleged offences in 1996 took place, but did not reveal the specifics of the discussion.

No present employees of Kit Resources are under investigation, added Knoll.

Mason is scheduled to appear in court in Nov. 17 in Vancouver.
