AltynGold Plc
("AltynGold" or the "Company")
Update on publication of Annual Report and financial results for
the year ended 31 December 2022 -- temporary share suspension from
2 May 2023
AltynGold provides the following update in relation to its
Annual Report and Financial Statements for its financial year ended
31 December 2022 (the "2022 Annual Report").
As stipulated by the applicable rules of the Financial Conduct
Authority (the "FCA"), the Company is required to publish its
audited Annual Report by 30 April 2023. However, PKF Littlejohn
LLP, the Company's auditors, have requested additional time beyond
the originally planned timetable to complete their audit. Whilst
the audit process has yet to be concluded, the Directors have been
advised by PKF Littlejohn LLP that the audit is substantially
complete and that there are no material audit issues causing this
delay.
Accordingly, the Company has requested that its ordinary shares
be suspended by the FCA from listing (as well as trading on the
Main Market of the London Stock Exchange) with effect from the
start of trading on Tuesday 2 May 2023 (the "Suspension").
PKF Littlejohn LLP has informed the Company that the audit will
be completed in the course of the coming week. As such, the Company
expects to publish its 2022 Annual Report on or about Friday 5 May
2023, following which the Company will apply for the Suspension to
be lifted. A further announcement in this respect will be made in
due course.
