VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 30, 2020 / Belmont Resources Inc (TSXV: BEA)(Frankfurt:L3L2) ("Belmont"), (or the "Company") is providing an update on the status of the filing of its interim financial statements, including the accompanying management's discussion and analysis, and related CEO and CFO certifications for its first quarter ending April 30, 2020.
On May 20, 2020, the Canadian Securities Administrators ("CSA") issued a notice stating that securities regulators will be providing coordinated relief consisting of a 45-day extension for certain periodic filings required to be made during the Period from June 2 to August 31, 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, the British Columbia Securities Commission ("BCSC") has enacted BC Instrument 51-517, Temporary Exemption from Certain Corporate Finance Requirements ("BCI 51-517").
The Company will be relying on this extension period due to delays experienced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Belmont will be relying on the temporary exemption pursuant to BCI 51-517 with respect to the following provisions:
- the requirement to file quarterly financial statements for the period ended April 30, 2020 (the "Financial Statements") within 60 days of the Company's quarter ending as required by section 4.4 of NI 51-102;
- the requirement to file management discussion and analysis (the "MD&A") for the period covered by the Financial Statements within 60 days of the Company's financial year end as required by section 5.1(2) of NI 51-102; and
- the requirement to file certifications of the Financial Statements (the "Certificates" and together with the Financial Statements, the "Interim Filings") pursuant to National Instrument 51-102.
The Company continues to work diligently and expeditiously to file the April 30, 2020 Interim Filings on or before August 13, 2020 (+45 days from June 29, 2020). In the interim, members of the Company's management and other insiders are subject to a trading black-out policy that reflects the principles in section 9 of National Policy 11-207.
