Almonty Industries Inc. Announces Application for Management Cease Trade Order
Almonty Industries Inc. (“Almonty”) (TSXV:AII) announces that it anticipates a delay in filing its annual financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis and related officer certifications for the financial year ended September 30, 2015 (collectively, the “Required Filings”) which are required to be filed on or before January 28, 2016. Almonty completed the acquisition of 100% of the securities of Wolfram Camp Mining Pty Ltd. and Tropical Metals Pty Ltd. (the “Australian Subsidiaries”), which collectively own 100% of the Wolfram Camp tungsten and molybdenum mine in Queensland, Australia, on September 22, 2014. Consequently, the year ended September 30, 2015 was the first full year in which Almonty has been required to include financial results from the Australian Subsidiaries and it has experienced certain delays in compiling and processing such information, which has resulted in unforeseen delays in completing the company’s filing materials. Almonty is continuing to work through the outstanding items to complete the Required Filings and expects to file by February 3, 2016.
In connection with the anticipated delay in filing, Almonty has applied to the applicable Canadian securities regulators for the issuance of a management cease trade order which would restrict all trading in securities of Almonty by the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
The Corporation intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines set out in sections 4.3 and 4.4 of National Policy 12-203 Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults so long as the Required Filings remain outstanding. The Corporation confirms as of the date of this news release that there is no insolvency proceeding against it and there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Corporation that has not been generally disclosed.
