Frontline Announces Delay in Filing Annual Financial Statements
TSX-V: FGC
For Immediate Release
Toronto, Ontario – (April 28, 2023) – Frontline Gold Corporation (TSX-V:FGC) (“Frontline” or the “Company”) announces today that it will not be able to file its annual financial statements, accompanying management’s discussion and analysis and related CEO and CFO certifications (collectively, the “2022 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements”) for the financial year ended December 31, 2022, within the period prescribed for the filing of such documents under Parts 4 and 5 of National Instrument 51-102 and pursuant to National Instrument 52-109, namely within 120 days of year-end.
The primary reason for the default in filing is that Frontline’s previous year’s audit Partner, moved to a new audit firm and resulted in the position that audit for the 2022 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements delayed. Frontline has engaged an Auditing Firm to complete the 2022 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company is continuing to work diligently and expeditiously with its new auditors to file the 2022 Annual Consolidate Financial Statements Annual Filings on or before June 15, 2023.
During the period of default, Frontline will issue bi-weekly default status reports in the form of further press releases, which will also be filed on SEDAR. Frontline confirms that there are no insolvency proceedings against it and there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed as of the date of this press release.
The Company had made an application to the applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities for a management cease trade order but this application was denied by the Canadian securities regulatory authorities due to its view that there is not an active, liquid market for the Company’s shares. The Canadian securities regulatory authority’s recommendation was based on its review of the trade volume, trade value and number of trades over the last 30 days. The applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities may issue general cease trade orders against Frontline for failure to file the 2022 Annual Financial Statements within the prescribed time period.
The Company confirms that since the filing of its interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2022 that there have been no reportable events as defined in the National Instrument 51-102 and, in its opinion, there are no reportable events pending.
There were no reservations in the former auditor's reports in connection with the financial statements of the Company since the former auditor's appointment; and any periods subsequent for which an audit report was issued and preceding the effective date of expiry of the former auditor's term of office.
