Minera IRL Provides Bi-Weekly Default Status Report
LIMA, April 18, 2023 - Minera IRL Ltd. ("Minera", the "Company" or "we") (BVL:MIRL) (CSE:MIRL) (FWB:DZX) (OTCQB:MRLLF) is providing this default status report in accordance with National Policy 12-203 - Management Cease Trade Orders ("NP 12-203") and the terms of a Management Cease Trade Order ("MCTO") entered by the British Columbia Securities Commission (the "BCSC") on April 3, 2023.
The MCTO was entered against the Company's Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer because the Company failed to file its annual financial statements, management's discussion and analysis and the required certifications (the "Annual Filings") on or before March 31, 2023 as required by National Instrument 51-102, Continuous Disclosure Obligations, and National Instrument 52-109, Certification of Disclosure in Issuer's Annual and Interim Filings, respectively.
Pursuant to NP 12-203, the Company must file bi-weekly default status reports in the form of news releases until the MCTO is revoked.
Accordingly, the Company confirms that since the Default Announcement:
- There have been no changes to the information contained in the Company's April 3, 2023 press release announcing the default (the "Default Announcement") that would reasonably be expected to be material to an investor;
- There have been no failures by the Company to fulfill its stated intentions with respect to satisfying the provisions of the alternative information reporting guidelines under NP 12-203;
- There has not been, nor is there anticipated to be, any specified default subsequent to the default which is the subject of the Default Announcement; and
- There have been no material changes in respect of the Company's affairs that have not been generally disclosed.
During the MCTO, the general investing public will continue to be able to trade in the Company's common shares listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange. However, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer will not be able to trade in the Company's shares until the Annual Filings have been filed and the Executive Director of the BCSC revokes the MCTO.
The Company expects to file the Annual Filings on or before May 1, 2023.
