Santacruz Silver Granted Management Cease Trade Order
Santacruz Silver Granted Management Cease
Trade Order
VANCOUVER, BC
,
May 1, 2025
/CNW/ -
Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd.
(TSXV: SCZ) (OTCQB:
SCZMF) (FSE: 1SZ) ("
Santacruz
" or the "
Company
") announces that it has applied to, and
received from the British Columbia Securities Commission, a temporary management cease trade
order (the "
MCTO
") under National Policy 12-203 –
Management Cease Trade Orders
("
NP 12-
203
"), on the basis that it was unable to file its annual financial statements, accompanying
management's discussion and analysis and required certifications for the year ended
December 31,
2024
(the "
Required Filings
") on or before the prescribed filing deadline of
April 30, 2025
(the
"
Filing Deadline
"), as required by National Instrument 51-102 -
Continuous Disclosure Obligations
and National Instrument 52-109 -
Certification of Disclosure in Issuer's Annual and Interim Filings
,
respectively.
The MCTO prohibits trading in securities of the Company by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer of the Company until such time as the Required Filings and all continuous disclosure
requirements have been filed by the Company, and the MCTO has been lifted. During the period in
which the MCTO is effective, the general public, who are not insiders of the Company, will continue
to be able to trade in the Company's listed securities.
The Company advises that the failure to file its Required Filings by the Filing Deadline is due to the
Company's auditor recently advising the Company that it is unable to complete its audit procedures
in advance of the Filing Deadline. The Company anticipates that it will be in a position to remedy the
default by filing the Required Filings on or before
May 16, 2025
. The MCTO will be in effect until the
Required Filings are completed.
The Company intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines set out in
section 10 of NP 12-203 so long as the Required Filings are outstanding.

information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking statements
relate to future events or future performance and reflect the expectations or beliefs of management
of the Company regarding future events. Generally, forward-looking statements and information can
be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "intends", "expects" or "anticipates",
or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may",

referred to herein as "forward-looking statements", are not historical facts, are made as of the date

These forward
looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties and actual results might
differ materially from results suggested in any forward-looking statements. These risks and

In making the forward-looking statements in this news release, the Company has applied several
material assumptions, including without limitation, that the Company will be able to file the status
reports and the Required Filings in the proposed time frame.
Although management of the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements or forward-

looking information. Readers are cautioned that reliance on such information may not be appropriate
for other purposes. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement,
forward-looking information or financial out-look that are incorporated by reference herein, except in
