ALX Uranium Corp. said Oct. 5 that it has set up a special committee to deal with litigation started by Galena International Resources Inc. in which the latter claims the right to buy ALX's Mikwam gold property in Ontario.

The company announced in August that it signed a letter of intent to sell Mikwam to Galena. ALX did not clarify why Galena is now claiming that ALX is obliged to sell the property.

As ALX Chairman Michael Gunning is also a director of Galena, he has resigned as ALX chairman and director due to the conflict of interest.
