VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Winshear Metals (TSXV: WINS, FRA: 9HR) ("Winshear" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that pursuant to the Canadian Securities Administrators Coordinated Blanket Order 51-933 - Exemptions to Permit Semi-Annual Reporting for Certain Venture Issuers, as adopted by the B.C. Securities Commission, (the "Blanket Order") it will move to semi-annual financial reporting ("SAR").
Winshear will voluntarily move from a quarterly to a semi-annual financial reporting framework. The Company's fiscal year recently ended on March 31. Under the SAR pilot program, the Company will be exempt from filing interim financial reports and related Management's Discussion & Analysis (MD&A) for its first and third quarters.
Interim Periods Affected: The Company will not file an interim report in 2026 (and in future years) for the first quarter (Q1) ending June 30 and the third quarter (Q3) ending December 31; and
Ongoing Reporting Requirements: The Company will continue to file audited financial statements (due within 120 days of year-end) and six-month interim financial reports (due within 60 days of September 30).
This news release is being issued pursuant to the Blanket Order and the Company will continue to report all material changes and significant developments as required under National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations and under all applicable securities laws and regulations. Adopting semi-annual reporting will reduce the administrative and ?nancial burden associated with quarterly reporting.
