Northisle Copper and Gold Inc. Provides Update on Filing of Audited Financial Statements
VANCOUVER, April 24, 2020 - Northisle Copper and Gold Inc. (TSX-V:NCX)(“Northisle” or the “Company”) announces that as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Northisle has experienced delays associated with the limited availability of our auditors and certain employees critical to the audit process. In response to similar issues experienced by other businesses, the Canadian Securities Administrators granted blanket relief for all market participants, providing up to a 45-day extension for periodic filings normally required to be made on or before April 29, 2020.In accordance with the blanket relief, the company will delay the filing of its audited annual financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2019, the management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) for the corresponding period, and related management certifications of annual filings.
The company intends to file these documents prior to mid-June under the terms of the 45-day extension announced by the B.C. Securities Commission under BCI 51-515, dated March 23, 2020.
Until such time as the filings are made, Northisle’s management and other insiders are subject to a trading blackout that reflects the principles contained in Section 9 of National Policy 11-207 -- Failure to File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions.
Other than as disclosed in the company's press releases, there have not been any material business developments since the date on which the company filed its interim consolidated financial statements for the three- and nine-month periods ended Sept. 30, 2019.
