LIMA, Peru, April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Minera IRL Limited (“Minera”, the “Company” or “we”) (BVL:MIRL) (CSE:MIRL) provides a corporate update and outlines the steps being taken to complete the 2024 audit and file its annual consolidated financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis, annual information form, and the required certifications (the “Annual Filings”).
Davidson & Company LLP (“Davidson”), ratified as our new auditors at the last Annual General Meeting, is currently conducting its first audit for the Company on a consolidated basis, including our Peruvian subsidiaries. This process involves collaboration with the auditors of our subsidiaries, adding complexity due to the need to align procedures between Canada and Peru.
As part of the 2024 audit, Davidson is also addressing the disclaimer of opinion issued by the Company’s former auditors on the 2023 annual consolidated financial statements. This re-audit is necessary to ensure the accuracy of our financial statements and to meet the standards of National Instrument 52-107 Acceptable Accounting Principles and Auditing Standards. This approach to re-audit the 2023 financials also reflects our commitment to transparency as we advance negotiations with potential investors regarding the objective of completing a business transaction for our flagship Ollachea Gold Project.
While every effort was made to complete the audit and file on or before the prescribed filing deadline of March 31, 2025, the audit has taken longer than anticipated. Amid ongoing audit efforts, we have maintained – and continue to maintain – open communication with the British Columbia Securities Commission, which has issued a Failure to File Cease Trade Order (“FFCTO”) effective April 4, 2025, as defined in National Instrument 14-101 Definitions, and National Policy 11-207 Failure-to-File Cease Trade Orders.
We are fully committed to completing the audit as soon as possible and anticipate that we will be in the position to complete the Annual Filings on or before April 30, 2025.
We want to assure our shareholders that there is no underlying operational issue with the Company, and the FFCTO will be lifted promptly once the required Annual Filings are made. We appreciate your continued support as we work to resolve this matter.
