Edmonton, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - August 29, 2024) - Peruvian Metals Corp. (TSXV: PER) (OTCQB: DUVNF) ("Peruvian Metals" or the "Company"), a Canadian exploration and mineral processing company with operations in Peru, is providing an update in accordance with National Policy 12-203 - Management Cease Trade Orders ("NP 12-203").
On July 22, 2024, the Company announced that it applied for a management cease trade order ("MCTO") with the Alberta Securities Commission ("ASC") in connection with the delay in filing of its audited annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024, related management discussion and analysis and CEO and CFO certificates (collectively, the "Required Documents") by the prescribed filing deadline (the "Original Announcement"). At that time, based on information then-available, the Company expected to file the Required Documents by August 16, 2024. The MCTO was issued on July 30, 2024 and restricts its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer from trading in securities of the Company, whether direct or indirect, until two full business days following the receipt by the ASC of all filings the Company is required to make under Alberta securities law (including the Required Documents). The MCTO does not affect the ability of other shareholders, including the public, to trade in securities of the Company. On August 7, 2024, in its first bi-weekly status update, the Company announced that it expected to file the Required Documents by August 30, 2024. On August 19, 2024, the Company announced that it continued to expect to file the Required Documents by August 30, 2024.
As of today's date, the Company is announcing that it now expects to file the Required Documents by September 6, 2024. In addition, the Company's interim financial report, related management discussion and analysis and certificates of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer for the first quarter of 2024 ended June 30, 2024 (the "Q1 Interim Report") which was required to be filed by today's date, is now expected to be filed by September 6, 2024. The Company will file the Q1 Interim Report in conjunction with, and immediately following, the filing of the Required Documents.
The Company confirms that since the date of the Original Announcement: (i) other than as described above and in its first and second bi-weekly status updates, there has been no material change to the information set out in the Original Announcement that has not been generally disclosed; (ii) there has been no failure by the Company in fulfilling its stated intentions with respect to satisfying the provisions of the alternative information guidelines set out in NP 12-203; (iii) other than the failure to file the Q1 Interim Report, there has not been any other specified default by the Company under NP 12-203; and (iv) there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed.
The Company confirms it will continue to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines set out in NP 12-203 so long as it remains in default of the requirement to file the Required Documents and the Q1 Interim Report.
