Nortec Minerals Corporation: Provides Bi-weekly Default Status Report
Vancouver, May 16, 2016 - Further to the press release of Nortec Minerals Corporation (the "Issuer" or the "Company") (TSX-V: NVT) dated April 29, 2016 (the "Default Announcement") and the Material Change Report filed on May 4, 2016 on SEDAR announcing that its application to its principal regulator, the British Columbia Securities Commission (the "BCSC"), for a management cease trade order (the "MCTO") under National Policy 12-203 - Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults ("NP 12-203") has been granted, the Company announces that it is still not in a position to file its audited annual financial statements (the "Issuer Statements"), management's discussion and analysis and related certifications for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (collectively, the "Required Records"), as required, due to the delay in the filing of the financial statements (the "Finore Statements") of Finore Mining Inc. ("Finore"), a reporting issuer in which the Issuer holds a control position. The Company will make every effort to file the Required Records no later than July 4, 2016.
Pursuant to the MCTO, which was issued on May 2, 2016, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company may not trade in the securities of the Company until such time as the Company files the Required Records and the Executive Director of the BCSC revokes the MCTO. The MCTO does not affect the ability of shareholders to trade their securities.
Other than as disclosed in this press release, there are no material changes to the information contained in the Default Announcement. The Issuer confirms that it intends to satisfy the provisions of section 4.4 of NP 12-203 and will continue to issue bi-weekly default status reports for so long as the Issuer remains in default of the financial statement filing requirement.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
Nortec Minerals Corp.
