On May 1, 2025, the Company announced that, for reasons disclosed in the news release, there would be a delay in the filing of its financial statements and accompanying management’s discussion and analysis for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Annual Filings”) beyond the period prescribed under applicable Canadian securities laws (the “Default Announcement”).
The Company reports that the audit continues to progress and the Company will provide a further update on the timing of its Annual Filings on or about May 30, 2025 if it has not filed prior to this date. The Company is also progressing on completion of its interim financial statements and accompanying management’s discussion and analysis for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025, and will provide a further update on or before May 30, 2025.
