[{"type":"text","content":" Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 8, 2026) - Lipari Mining Ltd. (Cboe CA: LML) (FSE: 0Y90) (\"Lipari\" or the \"Company\") announces a delay in the filing of the following continuous disclosure documents (collectively, the \"Annual Filings\"): the Company's audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, as required by section 4.2 of National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations (\"NI 51-102\"); management's discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2025, as required by section 5.1 of NI 51-102; and the related CEO and CFO certifications required under National Instrument 52-109 - Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings. The delay in filing the Annual Filings arises primarily from circumstances outside of the Company's control, notwithstanding the exercise of reasonable diligence by the Company.

The Company currently expects that the auditor will be in a position to complete the audit of the annual financial statements on or about May 15, 2026, with the Annual Filings to be filed as soon as practicable thereafter. Issuance of Cease Trade Order As a result of the Company's failure to file the Required Filings by March 31, 2026, the Ontario Securities Commission (the \"OSC\") issued a failure-to-file cease trade order (the \"FFCTO\") to the Company on April 7, 2026. The FFCTO prohibits the trading by any person of any securities of the Company in each jurisdiction in Canada in which the Company is a reporting issuer, for as long as the FFCTO remains in effect, subject to the following exception.
