(TSXV: APN) (WKN: A2JNFG) ("Altiplano" or the "Company") announces that it and its auditors are relying on the extension provided by Canadian securities regulators as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic regarding the deadline for filing and delivering its audited financial statements and MD&A (together, the "Financials") for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.
