TVI Pacific Announces Application FOR Management Cease Trade Order

TVI PACIFIC ANNOUNCES APPLICATION

FOR MANAGEMENT CEASE TRADE ORDER

CALGARY, ALBERTA - TVI Pacific Inc. (TSX-V: TVI; OTC Pink: TVIPF) ("TVI" or the "Company")

announced today an anticipated delay in the filing of its Annual Required Filings (as defined below) and

application to the Alberta Securities Commission to approve a temporary management cease trade order

("MCTO") under National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders ("NP 12-203"). If granted,

the MCTO will prohibit trading in securities of the Company by certain insiders of the Company, whether

direct or indirect.

The Company has determined that it will be unable to fulfill certain requirements of National Instrument

51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations ("NI 51-102"), including the requirement of the Company to

file and deliver its audited financ ial statements for the financial years ended December 31, 2022 and

December 31, 2021 (the " Annual Financial Statements ") (under Sections 4.2 and 4.6(3) of NI 51-102,

respectively), and associated Management's Discussion and Analysis (the "Annual MD&A" and, together

with the Annual Financial Statements, the " Annual Required Filings") (under Sections 5.1(2) and 5.6(1)

of NI 51-102, respectively) and related officer cer tifications contemplated under Part 4 of National

Instrument 52-109 – Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings (the " Officer

Certifications and together with the An nual Required Filings, the " Required Filings"), by May 1, 2023,

which is the filing deadline applicable under NI 51-102.

The principal reason for the delay is the inability of th e Company's external auditors to complete the audit

as a result of late receipt of certain financial inform ation from and delay in the completion of the audit of

TVI Resource Development Phils, Inc. ("TVIRD"), a Philippines corporation in which the Company holds

a 30.66% joint venture interest and which is a diversified mining company that focuses on the acquisition,

exploration, development and production of resource projects in the Philippines. As a result, the Company

will be unable to file the Required Filings by the applicable filing deadline. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

the Company remains confident in its ability to complete the required filings, but requires a brief extension

and has therefore applied for an MCTO.

The Company anticipates that it will be a position to remedy the default and return to compliance by filing

the Required Filings on or about May 15, 2023 and, in any event, no later than June 30, 2023. Subject to

the receipt of outstanding information from TVIRD and the ability of the Company's external auditors to

complete their audit, the Company plans to complete the Required Filings by mid-May in order to hold its

annual meeting of shareholders on or before June 30, 2023.

The Company intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines set out in Sections

9 and 10 of NP 12-203 so long as the required filings are outstanding, including the issuance of bi-weekly

default status reports, each of which will be issued in the form of a news release.

Except as previously announced by the Company, there have not been any material business developments

since November 10, 2022 (being the date of the last interim financial statements filed by the Company with

various securities regulatory authorities in Canada).
