Bell Copper Postpones Filing Q4 Statements due to COVID-19 Pandemic
VANCOUVER, B.C. - Bell Copper Corporation (“Bell Copper” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: BCU)
Bell Copper Corporation (TSXV: BCU) (“Bell” or the “Company”) has postponed filing its annual
financial statements, management's discussion and analysis, and officer certificates for the year
ended December 31, 2019, due to logistics and delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Bell is relying on exemptive relief recently granted by Canadian securities regulatory authorities
that allows it to delay the filing of its annual documents required by National Instrument 51-102
by April 29, 2020. In response to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, securities regulatory
authorities in Canada have granted a blanket exemption allowing issuers an additional 45 days
to complete their regulatory filings.
Bell estimates that its 2019 annual documents will be available for filing at its earliest
opportunity, which is expected to occur on or before June 13, 2020. Until such time as the 2019
annual documents are filed, Bell’s management and other insiders are subject to a trading
blackout that reflects the principles contained in section 9 of National Policy 11-207 -- Failure-to-
File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions.
There have been no material business developments since the date of the last interim financial
statements, filed on November 28, 2019, however, the Company has issued news releases
subsequent to November 28, 2019, copies of which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com .
