VANCOUVER , BC, CANADA, August 26, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- VANCOUVER, BC, August 24, 2020 /AMS/ - Alchemist Mining Inc. (the "Company") (CSE: AMS.X) announces that it has changed its auditor from Smythe LLP (the "Former Auditor") to Charlton & Company Chartered Professional Accountants (the "Successor Auditor"). At the request of the Company, the Former Auditor resigned as auditor of the Company effective August 24, 2020 and the board of directors of the Company appointed the Successor Auditor, effective as of the same date, until the next annual general meeting of the Company.

The Company confirms: (i) there have been no modified opinions in the Former Auditor's reports for the two most recently completed financial years or for any period subsequent to the most recently completed period for which an audit report was issued and preceding August 24, 2020; and (ii) there were no reportable events (as defined in National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations (“NI 51-102”)) between the Former Auditor and the Company.

In accordance with National Instrument 51-102, the required Notice of Change of Auditor (the “Notice”), together with letters from the Former Auditor and the Successor Auditor confirming their agreement with the statements contained in the Notice, have been filed on SEDAR.

In addition, in part due to circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the company will not be able to file its audited financial statements and other required annual filings by the deadline of August 31, 2020 and will be relying on the exemption provided in British Columbia Instrument 51-517 – Temporary Exemption from Certain Corporate Finance Requirements with Deadlines during the Period from June 2 to August 31, 2020 (and similar exemptions provided by the Alberta and Ontario securities commissions) (collectively, the “Instruments”) which provide a temporary extension of the time for completion of such filings for up to 45 days. In particular, the Company will be relying on the temporary exemption pursuant to the Instruments in respect of the following provisions:

• the requirement to file annual audited financial statements (the “Annual Financial Statements”) for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2020 within 120 days of the Company’s financial year end, as required by section 4.2 of NI 51-102;

• the requirement to file management discussion & analysis (the “MD&A”) for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2020 within 120 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 (the “Certificates” and, together with the Annual Financial Statements and the MD&A, the “Annual Filings”) respecting the Annual Financial Statements, as required by section 4.1 of National Instrument 52-109 – Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings.

The Company expects to file the Annual Filings on or before September 30, 2020.

On Behalf of the Board,


Paul Mann, CEO
