Altiplano Makes Application for Management Cease Trade Order
Vancouver, BC, May 1, 2023 – Altiplano Metals Inc. (TSXV:APN) (WKN: A2JNFG)) ("Altiplano" or the
"Company") today announces that it anticipates a delay in the filing of the financial statements required
pursuant to Part 4 of National Instrument 51 -102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations (the “Instrument”).
The potential for delay is due to the Company’s and its auditors’ joint assessment of the time required for
the remaining audit procedures and the auditors’ review process . Both the Company and its auditors
continue to work diligently towards the completion and filing of the financial statements.
The Instrument requires that the Company’s audited financial statements , MD&A, and Chief Executive
Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Fin ancial Officer (“CFO”) certifications relating to the audited annual financial
statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 be filed by May 1, 2023. The Company and its
auditor are in the process of completing the associated audit work to comple te the audited financial
statements. The Company expects that the audited financial statements , MD&A, and C EO and CFO
certifications relating to the audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022
(collectively, the “Required Filings”) will be completed and filed on or before May 15, 2023.
In connection with the anticipated delays in making the Required Filings within the time periods mandated
by the Instrument, the Company has made an application under National Policy 12 -203 Cease Trade
Orders (“NP 12 -203”) to the Alberta Securities Commiss ion, as principal regulator for the Company,
requesting that a management cease trade order (“MCTO”) be issued. If granted, the MCTO will restrict all
trading by the Company’s CEO and CFO in securities of the Company, whether direct or indirect. The
issuance of the MCTO will not affect the ability of persons who are not directors, officers or insiders of the
Company to trade their securities. The MCTO will remain in effect until the Required Filings are filed or
until it is revoked or varied.
The Company confirms that it intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines
described in NP 12-203 by issuing bi-weekly default status reports in the form of a news release for so long
as it remains in default of the requirement to make the Required Filings. The Company has not taken any
steps towards any insolvency proceeding and the Company has no material information relating to its affairs
that has not been generally disclosed.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the
(TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
This release includes certain statements that may be deemed "forward -looking statements". All stat ements in this
release, other than statements of historical facts, that address exploration drilling, exploitation activities and events
or developments that the Company expects are forward -looking statements. A qualified person has not done
sufficient work to classify any historical estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves and the issuer is
not treating the historical estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves . The Farellon mine was
previously in production dating back to the 1970’s with a reported historical production (to a depth of 70 m) yielding
approximately 300,000 tonnes at an average grade of 2.5% copper and 0.5g/t gold. This material was processed
locally and sold to ENAMI. Altiplano is relying upon past production records, underground sampling and related
activities and current diamond drilling to estimate grade and widths of the mineralization to reactivate production.
The decision to commence production on the Farellon deposit is not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves
demonstrating economic and technical viability and there is increased uncertainty and economic and technical risks
of failure associated with any production decision. Although the Company believes the expectations expressed in such
forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future
performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include market
prices, exploitation and exploration successes, continuity of mineralization, uncertainties related to the ability to
obtain necessary permits, licenses and title and delays due to third party opposition, changes in government policies
regarding mining and natural resource exploration and exploitation, and continued availability of capital and
financing, and general economic, market or business conditions. Investors are cau tioned that any such statements
are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those
projected in the forward -looking statements. For more information on the Company, investors should review the
