AbraPlata Files Amended and Restated Interim Financial Statements and Aethon Minerals Files Management Information Circular Supplement

TORONTO, Nov. 29, 2019 - AbraPlata Resource Corp. ("AbraPlata") (TSX-V: ABRA & OTCPK: ABBRF) announces that it has filed amended and restated Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and Management Discussion & Analysis (the "MD&A") for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and the six months ended June 30, 2019.  The amended and restated financial statements and MD&A for these periods are available under AbraPlata's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. As a result, Aethon Minerals Corp. ("Aethon") (TSX-V: AET) announces that it has filed a supplement to the Management Information Circular (the "Circular") for the Special Meeting of the Shareholders of Aethon Minerals, to be held on December 12, 2019. The Circular pertains to a proposed transaction between AbraPlata and Aethon (the "Proposed Transaction"), as initially announced in a joint news release dated September 12, 2019.  The supplement to the Circular (the "Circular Supplement") is available under Aethon's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.


Amended and Restated AbraPlata Q1 & Q2 2019 Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and MD&A

Following a review by AbraPlata's auditors, Crowe Mackay LLP, AbraPlata has amended and restated its Q1 & Q2 2019 Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and MD&A, as initially reported, to reflect the application of IAS 29, Financial Reporting in Hyper-Inflationary Economies, for the period from January 1, 2019, to June 30, 2019.  Under IAS 29, the application of hyperinflation accounting requires restatement of the nonmonetary assets and liabilities, shareholders' equity and comprehensive loss items of the Company's Argentine subsidiaries from the acquisition date when they were first recognized to reflect the Argentine subsidiaries' current purchasing power based on a price index current at the end of the relevant financial reporting period of the Company.  The IAS 29 hyperinflation accounting was not applied to the originally published Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2019, and the six months ended June 30, 2019. In the restated Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, Mineral Interests, a Non-Current Asset, increased by CAD$500,745 and Total Shareholder's Equity increased by CAD$500,745.

Management is of the view that these non-cash adjustments have no impact on the Company's mineral properties or financial position.
