December 20, 2012, Vancouver, BC;
El Nino Ventures Inc. ("ELN" and the
"Company") (TSX.V: ELN; OTCQX: ELNOF
Frankfurt: E7QN) announces that the
Company will re-file its interim
financial statements and management
discussion and analysis ("MD&A") for the
interim periods ended April 30, 2012 and
July 31, 2012 as a result of a change in
the Company's accounting policy related
to its exploration and evaluation
properties.
The Company will now capitalize
exploration and evaluation expenditures,
including the cost of acquiring
licenses. The Company previously
expensed its exploration and evaluation
expenditures as incurred. Costs incurred
before the Company has obtained the
legal rights to explore an area will
continue to be expensed as incurred.
The Company is of the opinion that
capitalizing the exploration and
evaluation expenditures, which is
acceptable under International Financial
Reporting Standards, provides a better
basis of comparison to other similar
junior mining companies.
