an additional 45 days from the deadline otherwise applicable under Alberta securities laws to make the filing.
In particular, the Company will be relying on the temporary exemption pursuant to ASC 51-517 in respect to the following
provisions.
• the requirement to file audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the " Annual Financial
Statements") within 120 days of the Company’s financial year end as required by section 4.2(b) of NI 51-102;

• the requirement to file management discussion and analysis (the " Interim MD&A") for the period covered by the Interim
Financial Statements within 60 days of the Company’s first quarter as required by section 5.1(2) of NI 51-102;
• the requirement to file certifications of the Annual Financial Statements (the " Certificates" and together with the Annual
Financial Statements, the " Annual Filings") pursuant to section 4.1 of National Instrument 52-109; and
• the requirement to file certifications of the Interim Financial Statements (the " Certificates" and together with the Interim
Financial Statements, the " Interim Filings ") pursuant to section 5.1 of National Instrument 52-109.
This press release is being issued pursuant to the requirement of paragraph 7(b) of ASC 51-517 whereby issuers are required
to issue a news release no later than 30 days from their original news release if the required continuous disclosure materials
have still not been filed. The Company continues to work diligently and expeditiously with its auditors and expects to file the
Annual Filings and Annual MD&A on or before June 12, 2020 and the Interim Filings and Interim MD&A on or before July 14,
2020.
In the interim, management and other insiders of the Company continue to be subject to a trading black-out policy as
described, in principle, in section 9 of National Policy 11- 207 – Failure to File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in
Multiple Jurisdictions.
The Company further confirms that since the filing of its interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended
September 30, 2019, there have been no material business developments other than those disclosed through Champion Bear
press releases and in particular, the April 22, 2020 press release relating to the completion of the settlement of an aggregate
of $528,445.97 of outstanding debt to eight creditors of the Company in exchange for the issuance of an aggregate of
