TORONTO, September 28, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Silver Storm Mining Ltd. ("Silver Storm" or the "Company") (TSX.V: SVRS | OTCQB: SVRSF | FSE: SVR) announces that its principal regulator, the British Columbia Securities Commission (the "BCSC"), has granted an extension to the existing management cease trade order granted on July 30, 2024 (the "MCTO") from September 27, 2024 to October 11, 2024. The MCTO was granted due to a delay in the filing of its annual financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis and related officer certifications for the financial year ended March 31, 2024 (collectively, the "Annual Filings") by the filing deadline of July 29, 2024 (the "Filing Deadline").
As a result of the delay in filing the Annual Filings, the Company was unable to file its unaudited interim financial statements, related management's discussion and analysis and CEO and CFO certifications for the three months ended June 30, 2024 (the "Interim Filings", and together with the Annual Filings, the "Required Documents"). Under National Instrument 51-102, the Required Interim Filings were required to be made no later than August 29, 2024.
As previously disclosed, due to certain complexities associated with the acquisition of the La Parrilla assets, the accounting and audit process remains ongoing at this time. The BCSC has given the Company until October 11, 2024 to complete its Annual Filings. The Company expects the Interim Filings to be filed within five business days of the Annual Filings once completed. The MCTO restricts the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer from trading in the Company's securities but does not affect the ability of other shareholders, including the public, to trade in securities of the Company.
The Company confirms that, other than as described above, there are no material changes to the information contained in the press release issued by the Company on July 30, 2024. In addition, (i) the Company is satisfying and confirms that it intends to continue to satisfy the provisions of the Alternative Information Guidelines set out in NP 12-203, including the issuance of bi-weekly default status reports in the form of news releases, for as long as the Company remains in default with its Required Documents; (ii) the Company does not have any information at this time regarding any anticipated specified default subsequent to the default in filing the Required Documents; (iii) the Company confirms as of the date of this news release, that there is no insolvency proceeding against it; and (iv) there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed.
