News Releases

Toronto - April 22, 2020: AbraPlata Resource Corp. (TSX.V:ABRA; OTCPK: ABBRF) ("AbraPlata" or the “Company”) is postponing the reporting of its fourth quarter and full year 2019 financial statements and accompanying management’s discussion and analysis, and related CEO and CFO certifications (collectively the “2019 annual documents”) due to logistics caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

On March 18, 2020, the Canadian Securities Administrators issued a notice stating that securities regulators will be providing coordinated relief consisting of a 45-day extension for certain periodic filings as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As such the British Columbia Securities Commission has enacted BC Instrument 51-515, Temporary Exemption from Certain Corporate Finance Requirements. AbraPlata intends to file the 2019 annual documents on or before May 8, 2020, which is approximately five weeks before the extension deadline.

Until such time as the 2019 annual documents are filed, AbraPlata’s management and other insiders are subject to a trading black-out policy as described, in principle, in section 9 of National Policy 11-207, Failure to-File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions.

The Company confirms that since the filing of its interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2019, there have been no material business developments other than those disclosed through news releases.
