African Metals Corp. Announces Revocation of Cease Trade Orders by the BCSC

The MCTO was issued by the BCSC as a result of the Company’s failure to file its annual audited financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2016 (the “2016 Financials”) and the accompanying management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”). The FFCTO was subsequently issued by the BCSC as a result of the Company’s failure to file its 2016 Financials and its interim financial report for the period ended August 31, 2016, along with the accompanying MD&A and the related certifications, on or before the prescribed filing deadline as required under applicable Canadian securities legislation. For further information on the circumstances surrounding the MCTO and the FFCTO, please see the Company’s news releases dated September 30, 2016 and March 13, 2017, respectively.

In connection with its application to revoke the MCTO and the FFCTO, the Company has provided an undertaking to the BCSC that it will hold an Annual General Meeting within three months of the Effective Date. The Company has met all other conditions required by the BCSC for revocation of the MCTO and the FFCTO.

Now that the MCTO and the FFCTO have been revoked, the Company intends to apply to the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) to transfer its listing from the NEX board (the “NEX”) to the TSXV as a Tier 2 issuer and to reinstate trading of its common shares (the “Common Shares”) on the TSXV, all in accordance with applicable rules and policies of the TSXV.

The Company expects its future business plans to consist of, among other things, continued evaluation of the Company’s Silver Bell St. Lawrence Project in Montana and examination of other business opportunities.

Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
