Chilean Metals Applies for Management Cease Trade Order
Chilean Metals Applies for Management Cease Trade Order
Toronto, ON. June 15 , 2020. Chilean Metals Inc. (“Chilean Metals,” “CMX” or the “Company”) (TSX.V:CMX,
SSE:CMX, MILA: CMX) announces that it has requested a temporary Management Cease Trade Order (“MCTO”)
from the British Columbia Securities Commission (“BCSC”) in connection with the Company’s filing of its
audited annual financial statements (the “Audited Financial Statements ”) and MD&A for the financial year
ended December 31, 2019.
On March 23, 2020 the Canadian Securities Administrators granted blanket relief (the “Blanket Relief”) for al l
reporting issuers, providing up to a 45 -day extension for periodic filings normally r equired to be made on or
before June 1, 2020. Due to the circumstances created by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company issued a news
release on April 29, 2020, relying on the extension provided for under the Blanket Relief, announcing the delay
of filing of its Audited Financial Statements, the annual MD&A and the applicable CEO and CFO certifications
(the “Annual Filings”), as the Company did not believe that it would be able to file the Annual Filings by its usual
120-day deadline of April 29, 2020 as required pursuant to National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure
Obligations (“NI 51-102”). At that time, the Company expected to complete the Filings on or before June 16,
2020.
The Company is requesting the MCTO in order to secure additional time to finalize the Annual Financial
Statements. As a result of the recent COVID -19 pandemic and the unexpected delays connected therewith, the
Company anticipates a longer than anticipated timeframe for the audit of the Annual Financial Statements.
However, it is the Company’s reasonable expectation that the Annual Filings will be finalized by July 15, 2020.
By way of background and as required by the BCSC, the Company notes the following:
1. The Company is required to file its Annual Filings all in accordance with IFRS, by June 16, 2020 (the
“Annual Filing Deadline”), being the extended filing deadline in accordance with the Blanket Relief. The
Company does not anticipate that it will be able to complete the Annual Filings on or before the Filing Deadline.
2. The Company and its auditors are working diligently to prepare and file the Annual Filings, on or
before July 15, 2020.
3. The Company confirms that it intends to issue a status report on a bi- weekly basis, for as long as it
remains in default of the Annual Filing Deadline in respect of the Annual Filings.
4. There is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been
generally disclosed.
The Company has imposed an insider trading blackout pending the filing of the Annual Filings, and will comply
with the alternative information guidelines described in National Policy 12 -203 Management Cease Trade
Orders during such period.
