ANCOUVER, Jan. 4, 2019 - Prize Mining Corp.

Among other things, the Notice of Application indicates that the staff of the ASC are investigating whether Prize contravened Alberta securities laws relating to continuous disclosure and capital raising exemptions. Counsel for Prize attended the hearing on January 3, 2019 to seek an adjournment in order to obtain sufficient time to prepare its response to vigorously defend against the matters noted in the Notice of Application relating to Prize. The ASC issued an order (the "Order") dated January 3, 2019 to adjourn the hearing to January 14, 2019. The Order also requires that certain respondents named under the Notice of Application cease trading in or purchasing securities of Prize pending the determination of the hearing.
